Perfluorocarbon emulsions

Perfluorocarbon emulsions are medical substances composed of tiny droplets of a specialized liquid called perfluorocarbon, which can carry and transport oxygen and carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. These emulsions are designed to help improve oxygen delivery in patients with respiratory issues or during surgeries by acting as temporary blood substitutes. They are chemically stable, non-toxic, and can dissolve large amounts of gases, making them useful in critical care. By enhancing oxygen transport, perfluorocarbon emulsions can support tissue oxygenation when the body's natural blood supply is insufficient.
