This is a strong example of a title that simultaneously make me want to click on it but made me afraid to do so. In the end I chickened out.

- greatgoat420 6y agoIt isn't that scary. >Intra-rectal delivery of a liquid form of O2 known as conjugated perfluorocarbon, a compound historically used in clinics for liquid ventilation through airway administration, is highly tolerable and efficacious in ameliorating severe respiratory failure. Thus, by repurposing the distal gut as an accessary breathing organ, enteral ventilation therapy offers an alternative paradigm as an adjunctive means to patients who are in critical need of respiratory support.
- semi-extrinsic 6y agoNitpick (on TFA): perfluorocarbons are not "a liquid form of O2". The thing about these liquids is that they can dissolve a huge amount of both O2 and CO2, compared to normal liquids. It's kinda crucial that they can carry lots of CO2 out of the body as well. Calling PFCs "a liquid form of O2" is like saying carbonated water is "a liquid form of CO2".
