    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Critical Care
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Liquid ventilation is an unconventional but researched concept.
    • Perfluorocarbons facilitate gas exchange (O2, CO2) with no known toxicity.
    • Traditional methods like tidal liquid breathing are complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the advancements in liquid ventilation.
    • To highlight perfluorocarbon-associated gas exchange (PAGE) as a simpler method.
    • To inform critical care nurses about this emerging technology.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing research on liquid ventilation.
    • Description of tidal liquid breathing.
    • Explanation of perfluorocarbon-associated gas exchange (PAGE) using conventional ventilators.

    Main Results:

    • Perfluorocarbons enable life-sustaining gas exchange.
    • PAGE simplifies liquid ventilation procedures.
    • Liquid ventilation shows promise for patients with pulmonary pathology.

    Conclusions:

    • Liquid ventilation, particularly PAGE, is a promising approach for pulmonary conditions.
    • Healthcare professionals, especially critical care nurses, need to be educated on this technique.
    • Further research and adoption are anticipated for this unique ventilation mode.
