It has saved the lives of many people. I knew a guy who was a grill cook for 40 years in his restaurant he owned. He started having severe breathing problems due to being clogged by grease. They put him on breathable fluid to clean out his lungs. He regained near normal breathing and worked a few more years before retiring. Amazing stuff.
@Ms Gon smokers usually don't have problems until it's too late. Emphysema and cancer... I finally quit using a vape, which is just a pocket nebulizer with nicotine.
Breathable liquid has been used to save the lives of premature babies whose lungs were not fully developed. The nice part about it when the decision is made to discontinue its use they simply stop adding makeup fluid and it simply evaporates away and they transition to normal breathing. Pretty amazing stuff.
@@TheUmopepisdn It feels the same as getting waterboarded. You have the sensation of drowning, but you aren't asphyxiating. To get used to breathing liquid, you quite literally have to get used to the main sensation of waterboarding.
@@constantinethecataphract5949 That's why he talked about the PFC that wouldn't do that and could be breathed. Sounds like a nightmare to me but it is neat that they are working on it.
Only to clarify: The cause for decompression sickness is the result of fast increasing pressure imbalances between all tissues (compartments) in the whole body, not just in the lungs!
A friend's life was saved with this technology. In 2006 his patrol vehicle fell into a canal in Iraq and he drowned. The hospital used PFC to displace the contaminated water, keep his alveoli open, and provide oxygen until his lungs could take back over.

my favorite instance of liquid breathing is in "The Dark Forest" by Cixin Liu, where people in a spacecraft use it to counteract the effects of sudden acceleration.
We are air-breathers - that's what our lungs are made for, otherwise we'd have gills. What fascinates me is that the square can be made to fit the round hole with ingenuity, leading to air-breathing lungs being able to breathe liquid. It also shows how amazing and over-engineered our lungs really are. Fantastic video, Simon!
Yeah, it sounds like the biggest hurdle is that lungs just lack the strength necessary to move such a heavy medium (liquid) into and out of it to circulate the oxygen and CO2. Gills get around this by acting passively and allowing easy natural water flow through them. Gills are also insanely efficient compared to lungs, which is why they can "breath" straight water rather than needing a fancy fluid like PFC. I think the solution to this problem would have to be assisted breathing of some kind, like a liquid ventilator. The problem then becomes the sheer difficulty in making a good ventilator. People had to deal with that issue during the coof when hospitals rapidly ran out of ventilators, and seemingly every tech bro on the planet briefly took it upon themselves to develop a "low cost" one only to discover just how difficult it is to make a ventilator that wont accidentally harm the patient. The problem is that ventilators have to time their "breaths" in time with the human body's. Otherwise, it actively fights the human body, which can actively make things worse. As hard as breathing PFC is, imagine how much harder it would be if you were trying to inhale against a ventilator's exhale, or visa versa. With how heavy PFC is, it would probably destroy your lungs. Worse, there is essentially no room for error. Unlike air, liquids are fairly incompressable, which means slightly overfilling the lungs could have disasterous consequences. And ventilators already struggle to operate in time with the human body when youre just sitting there in a hospital bed. The rapidly changing demands of a person exerting themselves doing work would make ventilation even harder, let alone with PFC, in a suit, deep underwater. I think the ultimate solution for liquid breathing would be the invention of a truly perfect liquid ventilator compact enough to fit in a diving suit. That would essentially breath for the diver, at exactly the right timing so the diver doesnt get the instinct to fight it. Taking the load off the chest and lungs to expand and contract against liquid would prevent the injuries and strain those navy divers suffered. Furthemore, it might unlock even deeper depths at which PFC would be viable, as the ventilator could move fluid in potentially far higher pressures than what the lungs can handle moving. This is probably a far future invention though. Like I said, we have a hard enough time designing ventilators for use in air by bedside in hospitals. Deep sea diving using PFC would be perhaps the most extreme use case imaginable for a ventilator. We're just not there yet. I think it would take a literal neural link between the ventilator and the human nervous system, which is a technology in its early infancy. But, that would allow the ventilator to literally act like an extension of the lungs, ideally creating perfect timing.

That's intriguing. As a child I used to have frequent and vivid dreams that I was breathing under water, usually in a pool. It was comfortable, peaceful, and incredibly realistic to the point where even knowing it was a fantasy I really wondered if I could actually do it. I'm still alive, so clearly I never tried.
Lmao I actually relate to this a lot, I have one very specific memory of dreaming about something like this as a kid about breathing underwater in a local pool, and waking up the next day not knowing if it was a dream or not 😅
Up becomes down this scenario... the liquid would fill you up completely stomach and lungs if any gasses were left in your body it would cause severe issues.
Its a light water/O2 mix, you'd just pee it out. Also you can't vomit in a positive pressure environment all that easily, so unless your super sick when you go in or you force yourself to drink the liquid. You'll just end up with some slightly runny urination for a day or so. Plus there's only so much you can drink in a short window if your body isn't feeling the effects of thirst, and this tech in real life is still very limited in duration usage.
@@TheRPGentleman I am going to guess that the pressure in the lungs was safe enough to not cause the lungs to explode the problem was forcing the liquid back out causing the Navy Seals to force their Diaphram and muscles in the ribs to contract harder causing the muscle sprain and cracked ribs.
@@jimmaurer8361 I've seen the movie at least 3 times, but now I don't know what version I've seen. The dude successfully deactivated the nuke, but then it was clear he didn't have enough oxygen for the long time it would take to get back, so it was clear he would die. But then the underwater aliens took him into one of their structures and gave him a room to breathe dry air. Then they rose the whole structure up, bringing the dude plus the submarine everyone else was in to the surface. And it was all cheers and happy tears, etc. looked like dude and wife would get back together, etc. Which version is that, and how is the other one different?
@@audreymuzingo933 director cut ending had the aliens showing Ed Harris all the flaws of humans. The world wars, violence and such. They were actually using giant tidal waves to kill everyone but stopped (if my memory serves me, Im getting old lol) since they have the ability to control water. But Ed Harris convinced them not to. It just made more sense than just raising up out of the water to save him.
Cutting a wire in seawater wouldn't deactivate an electrical circuit since seawater is conductive. I was 17 or 18 when I saw that film, and that always drove me nuts. Also a nuclear bomb wouldn't be hard to disarm. They explode OVER their target after all and there's no way to disarm one in the air anyhow except through radio control.
Fyi. Although breathing liquid would allow divers to reach greater depths, the deep dive depicted in The Abyss would have killed the diver because of the effects of high pressure on other aspects of human physiology. Chief among those, the myeline layer insulating his nerve fibers would be compressed and made inoperative, shutting down the diver's brain and killing him. Deep diving whales face the same problem, but they of course have adaptations that protect them from that sort of damage, although it is not yet fully understood how those adaptations actually work.
I think I remember a passage in the novelisation where they give Bud a series of anti-convulsive meds and other drugs precisely to counteract this, but warned that at the depth he was going to, even this wouldn’t stop the hallucinations and confusion, it would only keep him sane long enough to complete the mission objective. Of course, they didn’t mention directly to him that any thought of return was “optional.”
@@FastForwardPlans I have no idea, and I don’t think anybody really does. It was just to point out that the book made mention about extreme pressure affecting the brain. It’s been a while since I read it, it may have been something else.
It’s been used in medicine applications for a number of years, specifically those with alveolar collapse. It always requires mechanic ventilation because the internal pressure of the chest cavity is slightly lower than atmospheric pressure, which is why normal inspiration is a passive (think vacuum) process. Equalized pressure within the chest cavity is externally strenuous on the human body, most don’t last long.

Bizarre and beautifully well-researched! I had always wondered about that from The Abyss. It's frightening to imagine but great to see they have continued researching useful--and comfortable--applications.
I remember seeing this movie when I was little, maybe 6 or 7, and it always stayed with me because the concept was so fascinating to me. You've confirmed an old memory that was beginning to sound like a childhood fantasy to me.
Mice and rats have secretly been experimenting on us for years. They'll all evacuate the planet once the Vogons arrive to clear space for the new intergalactic freeway.
After having spent 5-6 hrs in a sweat lodge which had regular water poured over really hot rocks the air became so saturated I felt like I was breathing liquid . Couldn't help think of the Liqua-Vent scene in Abyss .
When I was a NICU/PICU respiratory therapist in the mid 90’s, our hospital was involved in the NIH trials studying perflubron in neonates. All of the patients were obviously intubated and I would check their breathing tubes several times per shift to make sure their lungs were filled. What’s interesting is that I would fill their lungs till I could see the liquid in their endotrachial tube and I was still able to ventilate them with the same amount of air as a non-study patient. We also had older children that we tried it on but it never seem to reabsorb. They would come back months later with chest x-rays that were almost completely whited out. This shouldn’t be confused with Survanta, a surfactant, which was routinely given to premature infants.
@@AT-sx2jp Looking at the most current peer-reviewed research, using partial liquid ventilation (PLV) has produced mixed results in treating ARDS in adults. However, in reference to treating RDS in premature infants, studies appear to indicate benefits from the treatment. An interesting application being investigated is the use of liquid ventilation with PFC in rapid heating or cooling of persons (influencing core body temperature) in cases of hypo/hyperthermia or other clinical circumstances. The average alveolar surface of an adult is 70m2, and near the entire cardiac output comes contact with the pulmonary surface, thus making the lungs excellent heat exchangers.
@@k8rgrl He says the studies say it probably works well for helping premature babies breathe but it's not as good at helping adults. Also they are looking into using warm or cold liquid to heat up or cool down people that need to be heated up or cooled down to keep living because it allows you to use their lungs, that have a big surface area, as a heat exchanger.
I feel like I’ve seen this in person before in an aquarium or something. For the longest time people tried to tell me I dreamt it and no such thing ever existed. But I remember seeing the mice underwater.
TY wanted to know about that more. What you missed is that this might have very important application in space travel. submerged in liquid human can endure much higher G's . so you can accelerate space-craft really hard and not killing anyone on board
If I remember correctly. People who tried sayd that the moments before it works is pure terror than the body realises it is no treat. It is a scary thing
The very first time I heard about liquid breathing was from the 1960s British science fiction TV series "UFO", where the aliens breathed exactly that, oxygenated liquid, which was actually an important plot device in a couple of episodes. Very cool TV show that totally entranced me in the sci-fi genre in my formative years.
The PFC breathing system demonstrated on mice was featured in a documentary I saw on TV as a kid. I always wondered why I never saw much about it later. When I saw The Abyss, I assumed they had classified it for use by the Navy to do secret spy missions underwater. You solved the mystery for me. Thanks.
well who knows.... the public story is that it is limited to medical procedures but maybe there is an improved version that's been classified for Navy use....
The submarine escape scenario is 200% wrong. Sub sailors breath air at 1 ATA (surface air). When a sailor exits a sub at depth, his "last breath" was taken at surface pressure inside the sub. You HAVE TO BREATH AIR AT DEPTH in order to get DCS. The danger in rapid ascent is Pulmonary Overinflation Syndrome (POIS) in which the expanding gas in the lungs can cause pneumothorax or arterial gas embolism (AGE). Both can be fatal, and AGE requires immediate recompression therapy.

I always wonder about using this for space travel. This could allow for crew that were fully submerged in a fluid to tolerate really high G-forces during acceleration or deceleration (potentially as high as 15-20g's).

I am affraid of water and drowning, i dont know what's the name for this phobia, the entire video i felt like suffocating and it was very hard for me to breathe, and i wasnt the one breathing fluids. This is one of the very few YT videos that made me feel something
Same! People often say I'm afraid of water but I'm not, I just panic if water touches my face or if I am completely submerged in water (unless I have an oxygen tank). I feel good on a boat, eben a kayak, but I cannot swim and the only thought of missing oxygen almost makes me faint.
"The pressure inside and outside the lung would be equalized." Pro tip, it already is. When escaping from a sunken submarine, or as a diver ascending, you have to breath out continually so that you equalize the pressure. Otherwise the pressure tears your lungs to shreds.
@@codename495 Not so much, you only exhale enough to prevent pressure build up, the air expansion during ascent continuously makes up the space. Kind of strange being able to exhale for such a long time. It is part of diver training, start about 60 feet down and exhale the whole way up. (only practiced at the start of the dive before much nitrogen has had time to dissolve)
@@dire_prism 'tear to shreds' is certainly a gross overstatement, but lungs are rather fragile and even a small tear in the tissue can lead to big problems like Pneumothorax. Because of the structure there are some air pockets that don't vent freely/quickly, and the action of holding your breath and building a small extra pressure followed by suddenly breathing out while also ascending quickly can combine to create enough localized pressure imbalance to cause damage. For similar air pocket reasons it is recommended to keep lungs about half full during ascent, being totally empty can reduce the space in the fine passages and could restrict pressure equalization.
@@dire_prism No, you have to force it out, typically by holding your head up and saying something like ho ho ho while you ascent. It is a strange feeling because the air continues to exit your mouth the whole time. It has been over 40 years since I did that training and the sensation is still vivid in mind.
There was a book that actually had this tech mentioned though it required the user to take a deep breath as the liquid (it may have been a gel can’t recall) would evaporate once it came in contact with oxygen. I don’t recall the name of the first book but the second one was called Riptide (first book may have been called “deep gifts” or the like)
I heard about something funny today involving this idea... but in reverse, sort of. Apparently if you take an oxygenated fluid and give someone an 'enema' with it, the large intestine does a great job of oxygenating the blood stream passively. I have no idea what the CO2 situation would be like as that was not mentioned. The article was from a medical journal where they were using oxygenated enemas to keep people with burn damaged lungs alive after their lungs were basically destroyed.
There are rumors in the dive community the navy seals have such a system to breathe liquid for hours already mastered. He refers to it a bit here, but the full extent is likely classified.
Note: PFCs are a class of compounds whose properties vary somewhat, almost like how natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, parraffin wax and asphalt are all mixtures of hydrocabons, though a little bit narrower in scope than that.
The rapid cooling ability could be applied in reverse, as rapid heating is the only thing preventing near frozen "suspended animation" states on humans (it works in hamsters and rats easily, because they are small enough to be reheated quickly).

Errors: Divers have to ascend slowly to avoid the bends. An escaping submariner who breathed liquid on his/her way up during an escape would still have Nitrogen dissolved in his blood from previous exposure in the submarine. The Nitrogen would still come out as soon as the pressure was released. So it does not prevent the Bends.
The submarine is at 1 bar, so the blood nitrogen level would be at the 1 bar level. It only gets elevated if they breath in more nitrogen in the high pressures on the way up, which this would avoid. You shouldn't have a problem with nitrogen.
I remember reading in Popular Science magazine in the early 90s that the military was testing breathable liquid masks on Navy Seals as a way to mitigate the effects of deep sea diving and "other applications". Details of the testing were classified.
It makes sense that since humans practically never breath actual air until after we're born, it makes sense that we would be able to breath liquid oxygen. I would also think that something like this would also be useful even in space exploration as well.
@@xplicitmike Huge buzz sound for your wrong statement here. The original comment clearly says liquid oxygen, and that was who the reply was direced at.
I've been fascinated with the idea ever since I read this book in school about the world basically flooding and part of humanity staying/colonizing the now sea floor and they used a liquid breathable solution to essentially breath underwater. I wish I knew the name BC ide read it again.
What I take from the information in this video is, that you could dump someone in a tank of breathable liquid mixed with medicine and basicly create a more advanced version of a "Bacta-Tank". I keep getting amazed on how more and more scify tech becomes a real thing, or gets in the realm of possibility.

There’s a hospital here for burn victims that uses oxygenated liquid to submerse patients in a way that heals them and keeps them from feeling the excruciating pain.
Nitrogen narcosis is pretty gnarly. From what I understand, below a certain depth the nitrogen in solution in your blood starts affecting you similarly to what laughing gas does. Except you're a hundred and sixty meters below sea level, surrounded by water and you suddenly think everything is bloody hilarious.
A friend of mine was a premature infant and had the treatment applied to him after he was born. It was very costly and expensive. Thankfully the Shriners stepped in afterwards to pay the crazy high hospital bills for his father. Hopefully this technology can be improved upon and the cost brought down.
What I expected: “No, but it maybe could be possible.” What we got instead was a video explaining scientists drowning animals except they aren’t drowning but they’re drowning from Carbon dioxide but they are also not drowning.
Not really, they only drowned some animals while figuring out what liquid to use, and even then they were not so much "drowned" as "killed by carbon dioxide poisoning". After they stopped using oxygenated saline rats and mice could breathe it just fine.
Exactly the same here! I don't even know why but I literally asked my wife the same thing yesterday; "Do you think the liquid they breath in abyss is real".

Unfortunately there are way too many patients to do this. They will have to make the tough decision to keep helping a near lost cause or help someone who has more chance of survival.
I believe there is a brand called liquivent that is used to treat some lung disease and oxygenate the blood. Also to clean the lungs from debree like smoke etc.
I've known about this since the late 70s or early 80s, there used to be an old TV show called "That's Incredible!" that dunked a mouse into a a little container of liquid live on camera while explaining about it. I remember that the mouse seemed rather panicked at first. The show always had odd and interesting stuff, think I remember a guy eating a bicycle by first cutting it into little BB size bits. That may have been "Real People" or "Ripley's Believe it or Not" though.
The first time I ever learned about the concept of liquid breathing was in Gerry Andrson's 1968 scifi tv show UFO, in which the humanoid aliens breathed a dark green oxygenated liquid, which imparted a green tint onto the aliens' skin which I've always thought was a neat way of explaining green aliens who were otherwise indistinguishable from humans, and whose body parts were completely interchangeable with out own (the show later hinted that the aliens themselves were actually humans taken from Earth and controlled by a higher intelligence) This was around 20 years before The Abyss was brought to the big screen. Many years later I learned that this concept was based on the 1960s US Navy research that you mention in the video.

@Ms Gon smokers usually don't have problems until it's too late. Emphysema and cancer... I finally quit using a vape, which is just a pocket nebulizer with nicotine.
Breathable liquid has been used to save the lives of premature babies whose lungs were not fully developed. The nice part about it when the decision is made to discontinue its use they simply stop adding makeup fluid and it simply evaporates away and they transition to normal breathing. Pretty amazing stuff.
Very very cool. Save the sweet babies.

Only to clarify: The cause for decompression sickness is the result of fast increasing pressure imbalances between all tissues (compartments) in the whole body, not just in the lungs!
True. But removing all gas except the oxygen required for the depth might be able to avoid the toxic effects.
A friend's life was saved with this technology. In 2006 his patrol vehicle fell into a canal in Iraq and he drowned. The hospital used PFC to displace the contaminated water, keep his alveoli open, and provide oxygen until his lungs could take back over.
Also was experimented as a synthetic blood during USSR deployment in Afganistan , to treat wounded.

That’s why I ended up here
Nurse: how did he die?
Doctor: he filled his lungs with an oxygenated liquid thinking it would make him able to hold his breathe forever.
Could you not just breathe it out,m
We are air-breathers - that's what our lungs are made for, otherwise we'd have gills.
What fascinates me is that the square can be made to fit the round hole with ingenuity, leading to air-breathing lungs being able to breathe liquid. It also shows how amazing and over-engineered our lungs really are.
Fantastic video, Simon!
Yeah, it sounds like the biggest hurdle is that lungs just lack the strength necessary to move such a heavy medium (liquid) into and out of it to circulate the oxygen and CO2. Gills get around this by acting passively and allowing easy natural water flow through them. Gills are also insanely efficient compared to lungs, which is why they can "breath" straight water rather than needing a fancy fluid like PFC.
I think the solution to this problem would have to be assisted breathing of some kind, like a liquid ventilator.
The problem then becomes the sheer difficulty in making a good ventilator. People had to deal with that issue during the coof when hospitals rapidly ran out of ventilators, and seemingly every tech bro on the planet briefly took it upon themselves to develop a "low cost" one only to discover just how difficult it is to make a ventilator that wont accidentally harm the patient.
The problem is that ventilators have to time their "breaths" in time with the human body's. Otherwise, it actively fights the human body, which can actively make things worse. As hard as breathing PFC is, imagine how much harder it would be if you were trying to inhale against a ventilator's exhale, or visa versa. With how heavy PFC is, it would probably destroy your lungs. Worse, there is essentially no room for error. Unlike air, liquids are fairly incompressable, which means slightly overfilling the lungs could have disasterous consequences.
And ventilators already struggle to operate in time with the human body when youre just sitting there in a hospital bed. The rapidly changing demands of a person exerting themselves doing work would make ventilation even harder, let alone with PFC, in a suit, deep underwater.
I think the ultimate solution for liquid breathing would be the invention of a truly perfect liquid ventilator compact enough to fit in a diving suit. That would essentially breath for the diver, at exactly the right timing so the diver doesnt get the instinct to fight it. Taking the load off the chest and lungs to expand and contract against liquid would prevent the injuries and strain those navy divers suffered. Furthemore, it might unlock even deeper depths at which PFC would be viable, as the ventilator could move fluid in potentially far higher pressures than what the lungs can handle moving.
This is probably a far future invention though. Like I said, we have a hard enough time designing ventilators for use in air by bedside in hospitals. Deep sea diving using PFC would be perhaps the most extreme use case imaginable for a ventilator. We're just not there yet. I think it would take a literal neural link between the ventilator and the human nervous system, which is a technology in its early infancy. But, that would allow the ventilator to literally act like an extension of the lungs, ideally creating perfect timing.
On the other hand, air and liquids are fluids, so there's 1 step taken off out of the million I guess... 😅

That's intriguing. As a child I used to have frequent and vivid dreams that I was breathing under water, usually in a pool. It was comfortable, peaceful, and incredibly realistic to the point where even knowing it was a fantasy I really wondered if I could actually do it. I'm still alive, so clearly I never tried.

I always wondered about the Abyss: How do you prevent the subject from swallowing the liquid? What if the subject vomits?
The same way we don't (normally) swallow air now? It's a different set of organs.
Up becomes down this scenario... the liquid would fill you up completely stomach and lungs if any gasses were left in your body it would cause severe issues.
@@cashnelson2306 We unwittingly swallow air all the time
@@cashnelson2306 your oesophagus would normally kick in as the liquid hit the back of the throat, you'd drink it all unless suppressed.
Its a light water/O2 mix, you'd just pee it out. Also you can't vomit in a positive pressure environment all that easily, so unless your super sick when you go in or you force yourself to drink the liquid. You'll just end up with some slightly runny urination for a day or so. Plus there's only so much you can drink in a short window if your body isn't feeling the effects of thirst, and this tech in real life is still very limited in duration usage.

Also a nuclear bomb wouldn't be hard to disarm. They explode OVER their target after all and there's no way to disarm one in the air anyhow except through radio control.
Fyi. Although breathing liquid would allow divers to reach greater depths, the deep dive depicted in The Abyss would have killed the diver because of the effects of high pressure on other aspects of human physiology. Chief among those, the myeline layer insulating his nerve fibers would be compressed and made inoperative, shutting down the diver's brain and killing him. Deep diving whales face the same problem, but they of course have adaptations that protect them from that sort of damage, although it is not yet fully understood how those adaptations actually work.
I think I remember a passage in the novelisation where they give Bud a series of anti-convulsive meds and other drugs precisely to counteract this, but warned that at the depth he was going to, even this wouldn’t stop the hallucinations and confusion, it would only keep him sane long enough to complete the mission objective. Of course, they didn’t mention directly to him that any thought of return was “optional.”

It’s been used in medicine applications for a number of years, specifically those with alveolar collapse. It always requires mechanic ventilation because the internal pressure of the chest cavity is slightly lower than atmospheric pressure, which is why normal inspiration is a passive (think vacuum) process. Equalized pressure within the chest cavity is externally strenuous on the human body, most don’t last long.

After having spent 5-6 hrs in a sweat lodge which had regular water poured over really hot rocks the air became so saturated I felt like I was breathing liquid . Couldn't help think of the Liqua-Vent scene in Abyss .
When I was a NICU/PICU respiratory therapist in the mid 90’s, our hospital was involved in the NIH trials studying perflubron in neonates. All of the patients were obviously intubated and I would check their breathing tubes several times per shift to make sure their lungs were filled. What’s interesting is that I would fill their lungs till I could see the liquid in their endotrachial tube and I was still able to ventilate them with the same amount of air as a non-study patient. We also had older children that we tried it on but it never seem to reabsorb. They would come back months later with chest x-rays that were almost completely whited out. This shouldn’t be confused with Survanta, a surfactant, which was routinely given to premature infants.
Perfluorocarbon (PFC), also called Liquivent.
Has medical applications - total and partial liquid ventilation.
I thought LiquiVent failed in ARDS trials?
@@AT-sx2jp Looking at the most current peer-reviewed research, using partial liquid ventilation (PLV) has produced mixed results in treating ARDS in adults.
However, in reference to treating RDS in premature infants, studies appear to indicate benefits from the treatment.
An interesting application being investigated is the use of liquid ventilation with PFC in rapid heating or cooling of persons (influencing core body temperature) in cases of hypo/hyperthermia or other clinical circumstances. The average alveolar surface of an adult is 70m2, and near the entire cardiac output comes contact with the pulmonary surface, thus making the lungs excellent heat exchangers.
@@pavegray me, a fuckin artist and not a doctor
Mhm. Yep. I *totally* understood that. Yep the liquivent did the trials mhmm
@@k8rgrl He says the studies say it probably works well for helping premature babies breathe but it's not as good at helping adults. Also they are looking into using warm or cold liquid to heat up or cool down people that need to be heated up or cooled down to keep living because it allows you to use their lungs, that have a big surface area, as a heat exchanger.

The very first time I heard about liquid breathing was from the 1960s British science fiction TV series "UFO", where the aliens breathed exactly that, oxygenated liquid, which was actually an important plot device in a couple of episodes. Very cool TV show that totally entranced me in the sci-fi genre in my formative years.
The PFC breathing system demonstrated on mice was featured in a documentary I saw on TV as a kid. I always wondered why I never saw much about it later. When I saw The Abyss, I assumed they had classified it for use by the Navy to do secret spy missions underwater.
You solved the mystery for me. Thanks.
well who knows.... the public story is that it is limited to medical procedures
but maybe there is an improved version that's been classified for Navy use....
The submarine escape scenario is 200% wrong. Sub sailors breath air at 1 ATA (surface air). When a sailor exits a sub at depth, his "last breath" was taken at surface pressure inside the sub. You HAVE TO BREATH AIR AT DEPTH in order to get DCS. The danger in rapid ascent is Pulmonary Overinflation Syndrome (POIS) in which the expanding gas in the lungs can cause pneumothorax or arterial gas embolism (AGE). Both can be fatal, and AGE requires immediate recompression therapy.

"The pressure inside and outside the lung would be equalized." Pro tip, it already is. When escaping from a sunken submarine, or as a diver ascending, you have to breath out continually so that you equalize the pressure. Otherwise the pressure tears your lungs to shreds.
Yeah but that kinda stops the whole “ breathing” action.
@@codename495 Not so much, you only exhale enough to prevent pressure build up, the air expansion during ascent continuously makes up the space. Kind of strange being able to exhale for such a long time. It is part of diver training, start about 60 feet down and exhale the whole way up. (only practiced at the start of the dive before much nitrogen has had time to dissolve)
The air would force itself out of your throat before that happens though?
@@dire_prism 'tear to shreds' is certainly a gross overstatement, but lungs are rather fragile and even a small tear in the tissue can lead to big problems like Pneumothorax.
Because of the structure there are some air pockets that don't vent freely/quickly, and the action of holding your breath and building a small extra pressure followed by suddenly breathing out while also ascending quickly can combine to create enough localized pressure imbalance to cause damage. For similar air pocket reasons it is recommended to keep lungs about half full during ascent, being totally empty can reduce the space in the fine passages and could restrict pressure equalization.
@@dire_prism No, you have to force it out, typically by holding your head up and saying something like ho ho ho while you ascent. It is a strange feeling because the air continues to exit your mouth the whole time. It has been over 40 years since I did that training and the sensation is still vivid in mind.

I heard about something funny today involving this idea... but in reverse, sort of. Apparently if you take an oxygenated fluid and give someone an 'enema' with it, the large intestine does a great job of oxygenating the blood stream passively. I have no idea what the CO2 situation would be like as that was not mentioned. The article was from a medical journal where they were using oxygenated enemas to keep people with burn damaged lungs alive after their lungs were basically destroyed.

Errors: Divers have to ascend slowly to avoid the bends. An escaping submariner who breathed liquid on his/her way up during an escape would still have Nitrogen dissolved in his blood from previous exposure in the submarine. The Nitrogen would still come out as soon as the pressure was released. So it does not prevent the Bends.
The submarine is at 1 bar, so the blood nitrogen level would be at the 1 bar level. It only gets elevated if they breath in more nitrogen in the high pressures on the way up, which this would avoid. You shouldn't have a problem with nitrogen.
It's kind of curious how Simon failed to mention PTFE (aka, Teflon): the one PFC that pretty much everyone knows about

It makes sense that since humans practically never breath actual air until after we're born, it makes sense that we would be able to breath liquid oxygen. I would also think that something like this would also be useful even in space exploration as well.
Would have to ask a scientist about that one, liquid does weird shit in zero gravity, I wonder about mars though
Liquid oxygen would kill you due to its very low temperature of -297° fahrenheit or -183° celsius.
Indeed it would be. Not just for the liquid part, but also for protecting against G-forces. You should check out the Libelle G-suit.
@@elijahzerbst6612 nobody is talking about pure liquid oxygen lol. Breathable liquid containing oxygen*
@@xplicitmike Huge buzz sound for your wrong statement here. The original comment clearly says liquid oxygen, and that was who the reply was direced at.
Certain liquids, yes. NOT water.
I've been fascinated with the idea ever since I read this book in school about the world basically flooding and part of humanity staying/colonizing the now sea floor and they used a liquid breathable solution to essentially breath underwater.
I wish I knew the name BC ide read it again.
What I take from the information in this video is, that you could dump someone in a tank of breathable liquid mixed with medicine and basicly create a more advanced version of a "Bacta-Tank". I keep getting amazed on how more and more scify tech becomes a real thing, or gets in the realm of possibility.
How would you get over your initial reaction to “choking” when you start breathing fluid?
It's harder to breathe too. Watch this from The Abyss.

Once I develop a ether formula probably a person could be trained to not react to it anymore. Luke Bruce they have to develop something that actually works on adults
Yes. In the 80's a show called That's Incredible showed a mouse swimming in an oxygenated liquid.
When I first saw The Abyss in the late 80s and this scene happened, my first thought was _”Hey... that rat is really breathing that stuff! I remember it from That’s Incredible!”_
Took a full minute to realize this isn’t Michael from Vsauce
The fact that he didn't say 'Hey, Vsauce, Michael here!' was a subtle hint anyone could have missed.
Vsauce lite.
They are so similar!! Like how I can’t make it more than two minutes into either one of their videos because both of their voices.... just..... I can’t...
Or is he? *Vsauce theme intensifies*
I was watching on mute. and I didn't know that, until I read your comment.
6:34: You can breath for an hour as long as you dont exert yourself..
Also: Use case: Escaping a sinking submarine.
Fortunately, that's not too strenuous. Just inflate your life jacket and let buoyancy do the rest.
There’s a hospital here for burn victims that uses oxygenated liquid to submerse patients in a way that heals them and keeps them from feeling the excruciating pain.
Any more information on this?
My son was given that therapy when he was born. I didnt realize he was breathing liquid.
I feel like if I need a VPN based in Panama, I might be doing something I shouldn't be doing.
"Rapture Under Deep" Bioshock makes so much more sense now.
Awesome game. I had the 2nd one I think. Was a long time ago
Nitrogen narcosis is pretty gnarly. From what I understand, below a certain depth the nitrogen in solution in your blood starts affecting you similarly to what laughing gas does.
Except you're a hundred and sixty meters below sea level, surrounded by water and you suddenly think everything is bloody hilarious.
A friend of mine was a premature infant and had the treatment applied to him after he was born. It was very costly and expensive. Thankfully the Shriners stepped in afterwards to pay the crazy high hospital bills for his father. Hopefully this technology can be improved upon and the cost brought down.
What I expected: “No, but it maybe could be possible.”
What we got instead was a video explaining scientists drowning animals except they aren’t drowning but they’re drowning from Carbon dioxide but they are also not drowning.
Not really, they only drowned some animals while figuring out what liquid to use, and even then they were not so much "drowned" as "killed by carbon dioxide poisoning".
After they stopped using oxygenated saline rats and mice could breathe it just fine.
@@Reddotzebra r/woooooooosh
I am well aware that you can’t drown in carbon dioxide (unless you are swimming in liquid carbon dioxide).
Bruh I was literally thinking about this a few days ago
same!
Just like Amazon recommendations knows when you talk about needing new socks
Exactly the same here! I don't even know why but I literally asked my wife the same thing yesterday; "Do you think the liquid they breath in abyss is real".
Me too... when I started a netflix show I can't remember the name of..
Also, why is it when people are in some sort of cryosleep or cloning, they're usuallh 6 feet off the ground and shat out onto a metal floor?
Same lol
Ben Bova has his characters breath PFC on their explorations Jupiter
Theoretically sure we spend nine months breathing liquid but we do get supplemented via the umbilical cord oxygenated blood supply
Fascinating and I loved your enunciation. Awesome job!
Neon Genesis Evangelion did it. Get in the f- robot Shinji
Never heard of it, but judging by that absurd name it must be anime
@@fenfrostpaws2000 I mean you’re not wrong
@@fenfrostpaws2000 indeed a 90s classic.
@@fenfrostpaws2000
Yep. An anime that began as a 'typical' "Giant Robots fight Monsters" show and then made some hard turns and handled subjects that were anything but safe for children - like child abuse / child neglect / parental suicide- etc...
@@TheMaleRei not to mention sexuality, how one wants others to perceive them, repressing emotions, projection and internalization, fear, self purpose, perspective on life, and one of the most accurate showcases of depression I’ve seen in media. It’s an incredible show, definitely something that makes you introspective.
I will never get tired of seeing that shirt
In fact, i would like to know where to get one... 🥸
It is a nice shirt.
I'm curious if doctors are trying to use this on Covid patients.
Unfortunately there are way too many patients to do this. They will have to make the tough decision to keep helping a near lost cause or help someone who has more chance of survival.
They have used it on premie babies but there arnt enough people trained in its use to safely apply it in masse
I believe there is a brand called liquivent that is used to treat some lung disease and oxygenate the blood. Also to clean the lungs from debree like smoke etc.
I've known about this since the late 70s or early 80s, there used to be an old TV show called "That's Incredible!" that dunked a mouse into a a little container of liquid live on camera while explaining about it. I remember that the mouse seemed rather panicked at first. The show always had odd and interesting stuff, think I remember a guy eating a bicycle by first cutting it into little BB size bits. That may have been "Real People" or "Ripley's Believe it or Not" though.

I mean...duh ever heard of fish?
(yes thats a joke calm down everyone^^)
Gills?
Lol damn crafty fish
I can't say I've ever tried breathing fish
@@Vohasiiv gotta be a european thing
I don't think fish is a liquid.
Nobody:
Stoners: infuse thc.
And cbd brah for the medicinal value
...and make it bubble gum flavor
infuse lsd let's make it a party
@@Brett-yq7pj dear God breathing lsd non-stop the trip would be intense provided you're conscious the whole time lmao 🤣
@@matthewbittenbender9191 no thanks. Nicotine users can keep their weird flavors.
My dad was an engineer with a defense contractor in Philadelphia & told me he saw them experimenting with this on rats back in the 60's!
The Abyss was my favorite movie for many years as a child. thank you for doing this video! That was great!
The first time I ever learned about the concept of liquid breathing was in Gerry Andrson's 1968 scifi tv show UFO, in which the humanoid aliens breathed a dark green oxygenated liquid, which imparted a green tint onto the aliens' skin which I've always thought was a neat way of explaining green aliens who were otherwise indistinguishable from humans, and whose body parts were completely interchangeable with out own (the show later hinted that the aliens themselves were actually humans taken from Earth and controlled by a higher intelligence) This was around 20 years before The Abyss was brought to the big screen. Many years later I learned that this concept was based on the 1960s US Navy research that you mention in the video.
