Liquid ventilation.
For 350 million years, ®sh have breathed liquid through gills. Mammals evolved lungs to breathe air. Rarely, circumstances can occur when a mammal needs to `turn back the clock' to breathe through a special liquid medium. This is particularly true if surface tension at the air±liquid interface of the lung is increased, as in acute lung injury. In this condition, surface tension increases becaus...
متن کاملLiquid ventilation.
Mammals have lungs to breathe air and they have no gills to breath liquids. When the surface tension at the air-liquid interface of the lung increases, as in acute lung injury, scientists started to think about filling the lung with fluid instead of air to reduce the surface tension and facilitate ventilation. Liquid ventilation (LV) is a technique of mechanical ventilation in which the lungs a...

1. List the potential medical applications of liquid-assisted ventilation (LAV). 2. Describe the properties of perfluorochemical liquids that are important for their use in liquid ventilation. 3. Describe the potential benefits of LAV in respiratory distress syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and aspiration syndromes. 4. Delineate specific nonrespira...

Correspondence: B. Lachmann, Dept of Anesthesiology (Room Ee 2393), Erasmus University Rotterdam, Postbox 1738, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands. There is strong indication that modes of ventilation that lead to repeated closure and opening of surfactantdeficient alveoli can induce severe functional and histological lung damage [1]. New modes of ventilation are directed at prevention of lung ...
متن کاملVaporized perfluorocarbon: taking the "liquid" out of liquid ventilation.
ALTHOUGH only a relatively limited amount of oxygen is dissolved in water under natural conditions, aquatic creatures enjoy great success in extracting sufficient amounts to meet the metabolic demands of life. Mammals (even aquatic mammals) avoid this limitation by using atmospheric oxygen through specialized gas exchange mechanisms in the lung. However, the niammalian lung can also extract suf...
