Advanced technology is making people survive in extreme conditions
The advanced biotechnology has brought one question in the mid, and that is can we someday create the thing, what is called "space human". In some magazines has introduced an idea that the in the femoral artery would be connected to the machine, what will increase oxygen in the blood, and that thing allows to dive extremely deep.
The problem with this kind of technology is the cut, what the tube needs in the skin. From that thing, the bacteria would get in the blood. So this is one of the worst ideas ever. If that tube will be removed the leak of blood will be extremely dangerous.
But how a person can dive very deep? The answer could be a thing called liquid breathing(1). That kind of system is under development in the USA and Russia. At the image above this text portraits man, who is in the bubble, what is filled with PFC, and this kind of systems can be used to save lives of prematurely born children, and they can also be used in the cases, where large areas of skin are burned and other bad injuries, where lungs must be kept open.
So filling lungs by using PFC (perfluorocarbon) (2) and in sharper saying combination, what is called "Oxycyte"(3) or other blood substitutes that can store an extremely large mass of oxygen would be a very sophisticated tool for medical and scuba-diving equipment. This liquid would fill the lungs. That kind of artificial blood is created to carry oxygen in the cases that the large mass of blood has been leaked.
The liquid respirator would fill blood by using this kind of blood substitute (4). A liquid respirator is a system, where the mask and lungs of scuba-divers will be filled with the blood substitutes. That thing allows a person to dive extremely deep.
Sometimes people have introduced the idea that the vein circulations would be connected to an artery circulation of blood, and in that connection would be installed the filter, which would reduce the oxygen back to hemoglobin, and remove carbon from carbon dioxide. That makes it possible to create the organism, what must not breathe at all. But creating that technology is in the future.
When we are talking about things like implanting blood cleaning systems in the human body, that might seem a very strange thing in the field of medicine and surgery. The implanting machines to humans are one of the most interesting and somehow very strange things when we are talking about experiments and experimental devices.
There is also a more conventional solution, which might interest somebody. That thing is the surgically implanted filter, which is located in the trachea would be a very interesting tool for some people, who should breathe the poisonous gas. If the surface of that filter would be created by using the own tissue of the person, that would not even notice the existence of the carbon filter.
The tube for that active carbon filter can be made by using the same cells, which are forming the trachea. And that "part" for a human can be made by using the cell cultures. If those cells are created by using the own cells of the person that this would deny the rejection. That thing would make it possible to create improvement, which allows people to walk in the area, where is an extremely high level of carbon dioxide.
