Abstract
A method for treating conditions related to lack of blood supply with a lipid based resuscitation fluid is disclosed. The resuscitation fluid contains a lipid component and an aqueous carrier. The lipid component forms an emulsion with the aqueous carrier. The resuscitation fluid can be used to increase the blood pressure and to carry oxygen to tissues. The resuscitation fluid can also be used for preserving the biological integrity of donor organs for transplantation.

A resuscitation kit, comprising:
- a lipid based resuscitation fluid comprising a lipid component and an aqueous carrier, wherein said lipid component forms an emulsion with said aqueous carrier in the form of lipid micelles with a polar outer surface and an inner hydrophobic space, wherein said resuscitation fluid is used to carry oxygen to tissues;
- and
- an oxygenation device adapted for oxygenating said resuscitation fluid immediately prior to application.
A resuscitation kit, comprising:
- An oxygenated lipid based resuscitation fluid comprising a lipid component and an aqueous carrier, wherein said lipid component forms an emulsion with said aqueous carrier in the form of lipid micelles with a polar outer surface and an inner hydrophobic space, wherein said resuscitation fluid is used to carry oxygen to tissues;
- and
- an oxygenation device adapted for re-oxygenating said resuscitation fluid immediately prior to application.
