Every time you inhale1, oxygen passes from your windpipe to your lungs and on into your bloodstream. But what if your windpipe was blocked? Getting the gas straight to your blood could save your life. Wait, put down that syringe—a large air bubble in a blood vessel2 can kill you. But what if the bubbles were only a few millionths of a meter in diameter?
Researchers coated tiny amounts of oxygen gas with fatty
molecules3 to create microparticles. Suspended in solution, the microparticles formed a
foam4 containing 50 to 90 percent oxygen. In a beaker of blood, the foam was able to quickly transfer its oxygen to the cells.
Then the researchers tested it in animals. Normally, a blocked windpipe cuts off the blood’s supply of oxygen, leading to brain damage and death. But when rabbits with blocked windpipes received injections of the microparticles, their blood oxygen levels and heart rates remained stable. The work is in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The foam may someday buy time for human patients. So that even someone with a closed
airway5 can breathe easy.
Thanks for the minute for Scientific Americans 60 second Science, I am Sophie Bushwick.
