Research article – Oxygen Gas–Filled Microparticles Provide Intravenous Oxygen Delivery

News release, Children’s Hospital of Boston: “Dr. John Kheir and colleagues [Inventors: John Kheir, Mark Borden, Francis McGowan] have developed a platform technology that packages oxygen in microbubbles for direct delivery via injection to blood and tissues. This technology is platform in nature and could revolutionize the practice of critical care medicine. An early and promising application is in treatment of patients who have undergone a myocardial infarction and experience cardiac arrest. The ability to keep blood oxygenated for even a short period of time under cardiac arrest circumstances or other circumstances in which a patient is unable to breathe or has no blood flow can prevent the tissue damage, including brain damage, that results from lack of oxygen.”
