Podcast 690: Rectal Oxygen. Nice,

Contributor: Chris Holmes, MD

  • In the 1700s, boxes lined the River Thames to pump smoke up the rectum to resuscitate people who had been found unconscious in the river
  • Sea cucumbers can extract oxygen through their rectum
  • Perflourocarbon, a liquid that can become oxygenated, provided rectally was able to oxygenate pigs and mice in a recent study
