Fluorocarbons are chemical compounds with carbon-fluorine bonds. Compounds that contain many C-F bonds often have distinctive properties, e.g., enhanced [clarification needed] stability, volatility, and hydrophobicity. Several fluorocarbons and their derivatives are commercial polymers, refrigerants, drugs, and anesthetics. [ 1 ]

Liquid breathing is a form of respiration in which a normally air-breathing organism breathes an oxygen-rich liquid which is capable of CO 2 gas exchange (such as a perfluorocarbon). [1]

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are odorless, non-corrosive, colorless liquids with low surface tension and a considerable density difference with air. Their density is almost double that of water, and they are highly stable and miscible with biological fluids.

2016年10月7日 · “PFCs” can be an abbreviation for either: a subset of perfluorinated chemicals called perfluorocarbons. Perfluorinated chemicals is a term that some scientists use to refer to the group of toxic chemicals that includes PFOA and PFOS and other per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs).

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are man-made compounds containing just fluorine and carbon. They are generally colourless, odourless non-flammable gases at environmental temperatures and for the most part chemically unreactive.

2009年7月11日 · OxygentTM, a stable, small-sized emulsion of a slightly lipophilic, rapidly excreted PFC, perfluorooctyl bromide (perflubron), has been engineered. Significant oxygen delivery has been established in animal models and through Phase II and III human clinical trials.

2007年2月16日 · Perfluorocarbons provide inert, apolar carrier fluids for lab-on-a-chip experiments and assays using microfluidic technologies. Low water solubility, combined with high vapor pressure, allows stabilization of injectable microbubbles that serve as contrast agents for diagnostic ultrasound imaging.

2020年11月3日 · Perfluorocarbons (PFC) are fascinating compounds with a huge capacity to dissolve gases, where the respiratory gases are of special interest for current investigations. Although largely chemically and biologically inert, pure PFCs are not suitable for injection into the vascular system.

Perfluorocarbon emulsions are being clinically evaluated as artificial oxygen carriers to reduce allogeneic blood transfusions or to improve tissue oxygenation. Perfluorocarbon emulsions are efficacious in animal experiments, and in humans they are ...
