Selected c₁₀ perfluorinated hydrocarbons for liquid ventilation and artificial blood

摘要

Perfluorinated alkylcyclohexane and alkyl cyclopentane derivatives of the empirical formula C10F20 boil at atmospheric pressure in the range of 144-146° C. and are utilized as mediums for gas transport in liquid ventilation and in artificial blood. Compounds of the C10F20 formula which can exist only as a single stereoisomer are preferred as mediums for gas transport.
