Gever had made significant progress in the application of fluorocarbons as a blood substitute. Fluorocarbons readily absorb and transmit oxygen, as does blood Dr. Geyer was able to overcome a major obstacle, the formation of bubbles in the solution when injected into rate, by employing a different mixture. Another difficulty was eliminated by Dr. Leland C. Clark Jr. professor of Research Pedantries at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. Test animals did not exhale the fluorocarbons but rather collected the substance in their bodies especially in the liver Clark experimented until be found a fluorocarbon emulsion that would be expelled...
...Mount Everest: the air is thin and chilly, no living thing disturbs the silence, and the view is spectacularly disconcerting.

...among these may be the so-called mammalian dive reflex, which allows whales and seals to remain submerged in cold water. It is theorized that humans also have this protection. The reflex is triggered when frigid water splashes over the forehead and nose; nerves signal the brain to divert oxygen-rich blood from the limbs to the heart and brain. An even more important defense against brain damage is a phenomenon known as sub mersion hypothermia: the extreme cold of the surrounding water, and of water breathed into the lungs, cools the body (to about 85° F in Jimmy...
Jimmy was then transferred to Children's Memorial, where doctors gave him massive doses of barbiturates to maintain his coma, a technique increasingly used in head-injury patients. Reason: the drugs reduce the brain's need for oxygen and glucose and lessen the chance of swelling...
