title: [Artificial blood. Experimental studies on fluorocarbons as chemical blood substitutes].
abstract: Fluorocarbonates are organic compounds capable of carrying oxygen and surrendering it to tissues by means of biological sound modalities. Experimentation of an emulsion consisting of perfluorotripropylamine and perfluorodecaline (Fluosol DA 20%) as a blood substitute is reported. Acute (Ht less than 1%) and chronic morphological (Ht = 15%) studies were performed on rats, and a semi-acute biochemical and morphological protocol (Ht = 21%) was experimented in pigs. The first signs of altered cerebral electrical activity occurred at Ht = 2% in the acute experiments, and death due to respiratory arrest took pace at Ht = 0.5%. In the semiacute and chronic experiments, widespread infiltration of fluorocarbonic micelles was noted on histological and electron microscope lung and liver preparations.
