What is liquid breathing and ventilation?
Abstract
Liquid ventilation is a rapidly growing ventilation technique. In spite of the large number of scientific and technical papers on the argument, the general concepts, particularly useful for the non-specialist physician, are not easy to acquire. The scope of this simple review is to explain the present general aspects and uses of liquid ventilation, analysing their chronological development.
