Artificial Blood - Breaking Health & Medical News - Video Stories
Artificial Blood
The first modern based blood-transfusion was attempted in 18h century France when an anemic boy received blood from a lamb. The boy died because then nothing was known of blood groups or blood compatibility. However, blood grouping and typing did not help in preventing the transmitting of diseases such as AIDS or hepatitis A. This became a great concern in the past decade.
Pero Fluorochemicals are a group of chemicals that do the same job as hemoglobin in red blood cells. It transports oxygen to tissues and receives carbon dioxide. It can be cheaply and effectively mass-produced.
These molecules are smaller than actual blood cells and thus are able to bypass occlusions and clots in arteries and deliver oxygen to damaged tissues. Other advantages of artificial blood is that it’s disease free, it has a much longer shelf life and it’s able to be manufactured at a steady rate. This could mean no more critical blood shortages. Various types of artificial blood brands could be available in the next few years. This could save the lives of many critical care patients as well as aiding in the success of many elective procedures.
