Peritoneal oxygenation with OMBs. (a) The experimental setup is shown for treatment of a right pneumothorax model for acute lung injury. (b) OMBs infused into the peritoneal cavity deliver oxygen through the parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum to adjacent blood and tissue. (c) The total infused volume per rat was equivalent between the OMBs and saline control. Plots show the (d) pressure (mean ± SD) in the peritoneal cavity and (e) rectal temperature (mean ± SD) versus time for OMBs and saline.
