Abstract The ability of perfluorodecalin to improve the properties of blood and protect it from harmful agents was assessed by evaluating the functional state of donor blood treated with this compound and then exposed to O2 in a bubble (contact) oxygenator. The results of determining the acidic resistance of erythrocytes, serum levels of free hemoglobin, the amount of malonic dialdehyde in lipid extracts of erythrocyte membranes, erythrocyte deformability, and blood viscosity support the notion that organoperfluoric compounds are chemically and biologically inert. Pretreatment of blood with perfluorodecalin protects it from the adverse effects of contact oxygenation and improves its rheological properties.
