This technology will never allow you to "breathe". Breathing does two things, it adds oxygen and removes CO2. The human body requires about a liter of oxygen every 3 minutes. I don't know how big their syringe is, but I doubt they can inject this much. Also, they provide no mechanism for carbon dioxide removal. After a while, the carbon dioxide buildup in the body would become toxic. At most, they could keep a sedated patient fully oxygenated for about 10 minutes. Potentially useful in a medical emergency, but that's about it.
