Scientists Invent Oxygen Particle That If Injected, Allows You To Live Without Breathing

New Medical Discovery
A team of scientists at the Boston Children’s Hospital have invented what is being considered one the greatest medical breakthroughs in recent years. They have designed a microparticle that can be injected into a person’s bloodstream that can quickly oxygenate their blood. This will even work if the ability to breathe has been restricted, or even cut off entirely.

This finding has the potential to save millions of lives every year. The microparticles can keep an object alive for up to 30 min after respiratory failure. This is accomplished through an injection into the patients’ veins. Once injected, the microparticles can oxygenate the blood to near normal levels. This has countless potential uses as it allows life to continue when oxygen is needed but unavailable. For medical personnel, this is just enough time to avoid risking a heart attack or permanent brain injury when oxygen is restricted or cut off to patients.

  • Too bad there’s none of the other materials

  • How about we have all of Washington try it out and if it proves fatal, no big loss

  • I can see it now… if the air gets too full radioactive particles to breath, we have to pay to be injected?

  • I don’t think we can cut out “respiration” from human physiology, from injecting particles.

    Without this you don’t allow “perfusion” and thus would be in shock!

    Plus, isn’t injecting molecules of gas whether bound or not, bad if they diffuse in the blood into the constituent elements IE, O2?

    Wouldn’t that result in embolism?

    So all in all I’d say a bunch of wishful thinking…. :cool:

  • What the hell are you doing, the top news are covered with commercials, shame omn you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
