Science Renders Breathing Obsolete
- Thread starter John Funk

how long until sporting boards have to take blood tests of athletes minutes before events to make sure they don't have this oxygen/lipid stuff in their system ?
An example of what we as a species are truly capable of if we truly want to bother. And all because they didn't want anyone else in similar circumstances to die if they could help it. Now that's the true soul of a doctor at work.
No it can. It just can't do it quickly. When you accidentally breath water/drink you don't spit it all up some of it stays in the lungs and gets dissipated through the lungs. Now I just have to find that thing I read it on.vxicepickxv said:
NOoooo I'm so sad right now.
I wanted to read the actual research article through my university network, but my university's subscription doesn't cover this article.
Most animals used for these tests have had a fairly decent life, much better than the animals used for meat.
I'm a bit biased though, as biomedical scientist student.

The test animal went through some serious discomfort, but we don't know if they were anesthetized or not. If the US is anything like the Netherlands, researchers have to get permission from an Ethical Commission before they're allowed to work with animals. The EC ensures that no pointless or unnecessary tests on animals take place and tries to keep animal suffering during the test to a minimum.viranimus said:

In more words: They gave their lives for Science. That is to be honored, not shunned.
I'm trying to imagine what it would feel like to hook yourself up to an IV with this stuff and just not breathe for 10 minutes or so.
And I'm a little confused by the 'blue blood' comment. Surely if it was pulled from one of the scientists' veins, it would still be red? There isn't actually any deoxygenated blood in the body, it's just less oxygenated than the other blood right?

FFS guys, breathing is now obsolete because you can inject an oxygen substitute and keep someone alive for 15 minutes. Stop writing these outlandish headlines to lure people in, people who will probably read the article anyway. Stop mimicking retarded tabloid newspaper techniques, we are not idiots, stop treating us like we just got off the special bus.

It doesn't in most people because that would be a bad thing, the breath reflex is usually triggered by a rise in the blood-Co2 levels. Now with COPD patients the reflex is triggered by O2 levels which means give 'em too much oxygen and they'll simply stop breathing, you can imagine now why that would be a bad thing to have.Tharwen said:
In any way, I don't think in a situation where an OxyPen (I like this name so I will use it for now) would be required heaving a pleasant time is your biggest concern.
So... when you can't catch your breath you'd really try looking for a vein, then properly puncture it and apply the oxygen solution? I'd personally stick with an autoinjector or inhaler but if you've got the gift go for it.Elate said:

Cool now all they need to do is find a way to remove the CO2 and we will never use our lungs again.
More seriously it is an incredible breakthrough for emergency medicine.
