Abstract
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is mainly characterized by hypoxemia and pronounced alveolar collapse, associated with high surface forces in the alveoli. Several methods of artificial ventilation have been introduced to support such lungs and maintain adequate oxygenation until recovery of lung function occurs [1–5]. Since perfluorocarbon (PFC) liquids were recognized as a useful media for pulmonary gas exchange, animal studies with PFC liquid ventilation have demonstrated that elimination of high surface forces in the PFC-filled lung can offer an alternative respiratory medium to improve gas exchange and lung expansion [6–8].
