A recent report from the group in Pittsburg, PA highlights the use of a liquid fluorocarbon lavage known as PFD (OriGen Biomedical, Inc, Austin, TX, USA) on compassionate use basis. We recently shared another report using the same product from the group in Seattle, WA back in February 2015.
This looks like a promising tool for use with our ECMO patients. I look forward to Origin obtaining FDA approval for use so that PFD is more readily available.
