&NA; It has been extensively reported that liquid‐assisted ventilation, using inert perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCs), can reduce interfacial surface tension and allow for improved ventilation at decreased alveolar pressures. PFCs are bioinert, minimally absorbed, and have no deleterious histologic, cellular, or biochemical effects when used as respiratory media. Although several types of PFCs have been characterized, a select few are considered to be compatible with life. Compatibility is often…

In severe lung injury, this study demonstrates that physiologic gas exchange can be maintained with TLV or PLV, and perfluorochemical fluid in the blood and tissue is low during PLV and TLV relative to that associated with intravenous administration of perfluarochemical fluid emulsion.

The irregular lipid headgroup-water boundary observed in DOPC bilayers saturated with neon in the pressure range of 1-100 bar could be associated with the possible manifestation of neurological tremors at the atomic scale, which supports the 'critical volume' hypothesis of anaesthesia pressure reversal.
Perfluorocarbon compounds as vehicles for pulmonary drug delivery
- Biology, ChemistryExpert opinion on drug delivery

Drug delivery to the diseased lung is hindered by the buildup of fluid and shunting of blood flow away from the site of injury, so several approaches, such as dispersions, prodrugs, solubilizing agents and (micro)emulsions, are under investigation to develop homogeneous PFC–drug mixtures suitable for intrapulmonary administration.
