The in vivo study of microvascular oxygen transport requires accurate and challenging
measurements of several mass transfer parameters. Although recommended, blood flow …

Perfluorocarbons (PFC) are compounds with high gas solubility that could help deliver O2 to
tissues and have been suggested as adjunct therapy to ischemia. Using a newly designed …

Developing biocompatible, synthetic oxygen carriers is a consistently challenging task that
researchers have been pursuing for decades. Perfluorocarbons (PFC) are fascinating …

Perfluorocarbon (PFCs) compounds have been a hereto fore under realized pharmaceutical
class of intravenous emulsions and respiratory adjuvants researched extensively since the …

Perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions are halogen-substituted carbon nonpolar oils with
resultant enhanced dissolved respiratory gas (O2, N2, CO2, nitric oxide) capabilities. In the …

The oxygen transport capacity of fluorocarbons was investigated in the hamster chamber
window model microcirculation to determine the rate at which oxygen is delivered to the …

A viable blood substitute is still of great necessity throughout the world. Perfluorocarbon‐
based oxygen carriers (PFCOCs) are emulsions that take advantage of the high solubility of …

Perfluorochemical liquids (PFC's) are good solvents for gases and as such, have significant
relevance to the field of biology. Approximately 40 ml of oxygen will dissolve in 100 ml of …

The basic properties of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and PFC emulsions relevant to their use as
oxygen delivery systems are briefly reviewed. The key issues related to the selection of an …

A 3rd generation perfluorocarbon (PFC) is under development for the treatment of traumatic
