Abstract
We discuss two main categories of blood substitutes: perfluorocarbons and hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers. We provide a review of the notable products developed in both categories and include their attributes as well as their setbacks. We contribute a case report tothe growing literature of the successful use of Sanguinate. We find that artificial oxygen carriers are an attractive field of research because of the practical limitations and the multitude of potential complications that surround human blood transfusions.
