Abstract

A new method to study the uptake of oxygen from the lungs is demonstrated. The method uses the short lived positron emitting isotope, oxygen-15. Four formulations were studied in four rats each: liposome encapsulated bovine hemoglobin (LEBH), liposome encapsulated human hemolysate (LEHH), free bovine hemoglobin (HEM), and a control saline solution (SAL). The studies demonstrate the feasibility of using this method to assess the oxygen carrying capacity of various blood substitutes.
