Scientists develop Injectable Oxygen that will let you live without breathing


Scientists at Boston have developed micro-particles that can be injected in the bloodstream and oxygenate your body. This technology is called Injectable Oxygen and it will keep you alive without you even breathing and without any help from your lungs.


These micro-particles contain oxygen in layers of lipids and each particle contains up to four times more oxygen than each of human red blood cells has. They are then suspended in liquid in order for them to be injected in the bloodstream.



This technology is so useful because you don't have to breathe at all for as long as 30 minutes and perhaps even longer in the future. There are a lot of great uses with this technology. Just imagine, you can go scuba diving without carrying an oxygen tank. It will also help doctors to keep patients alive in the event of respiratory failure.
