[Effect of perfluorocarbon emulsions on rheological parameters of blood].
The effect of a perfluorocarbon emulsion on the rheological parameters of blood in a living organism at the hematocrit twice lower than the norm was studied. It was shown that an increase in emulsion concentration leads to an increase in blood asymptotic viscosity and the aggregation of erythrocytes. It was concluded that only a small volume of the fluorocarbon phase of particles, as compared with the total amount of erythrocytes, can improve the blood fluidity upon disturbed circulation.
