Abstract
A subject is confined in a closed environment at an elevated pressure through which perfluorochemical fluid containing dissolved oxygen is circulated to treat disease or injury.
Claims20
A process for treating a subject living organism, the process comprising:
- (a) confining at least a portion of the organism in a closed environment;
- (b) providing a circulating perfluorochemical fluid in the closed environment;
- (c) dissolving a selected gaseous material in the perfluorochemical fluid to provide perfluorochemical fluid containing the dissolved selected material;
- (d) providing a pressure differing from atmospheric pressure in the closed environment;
- and
- (e) immersing the at least a portion of the organism in the perfluorochemical fluid containing the selected gaseous material.

Apparatus for treating a living organism, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) a treatment chamber for confining at least a portion of the living organism in a closed environment;
- (b) a reservoir for perfluorochemical fluid;
- (c) a first conduit for transferring the perfluorochemical fluid between the reservoir and the treatment chamber;
- (d) at least one injection port for providing a selected gaseous material in perfluorochemical fluid;
- and
- (e) a compressor for increasing the pressure of the perfluorochemical fluid to increase the solubility of the selected gaseous material in the perfluorochemical fluid.
