Therapeutic oxygen delivery by perfluorocarbon-based colloids
Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2021 May 1;294:102407. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2021.102407. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfter the protocol-related indecisive clinical trial of Oxygent, a perfluorooctylbromide/phospholipid nanoemulsion, in cardiac surgery, that often unduly assigned the observed untoward effects to the product, the development of perfluorocarbon (PFC)-based O2 nanoemulsions ("blood substitutes") has come to a low. Yet, significant further demonstrations of PFC O2-delivery efficacy have continuously been reported, such as relief of hypoxia after myocardial infarction or stroke; protection of vital organs during surg...
