Abstract

Two major areas of research of the oxygen carrying solutions are 1) utilization of hemoglobin and 2) perfluorochemicals. Even though they are not perfect red blood cell substitutes, the “oxygen carrying solutions” have many potential clinical applications because they will reach tissues more easily than normal human red cells and can deliver oxygen directly to tissues. In this paper, important examples of such usages are suggested. Additional clinical and non-clinical applications of the oxygen carrying solutions may be added in the near future.
