ABSTRACT:
The subject invention provides a liquid ventilator system which comprises a source of oxygenated liquid, an inspiratory conduit, a bifurcated bronchial tube, and a pump. The bifurcated bronchial tube has a left lumen for directing the flow of oxygenated liquid into the left primary bronchus of a subject, and a right lumen for directing the flow of oxygenated liquid into the right primary bronchus of a subject. The invention further provides a method for liquid ventilation of a subject using the system, as well as a method of increasing ventilation efficiency by continuous isovolumetric flow of oxygenated liquid into the bronchi of the subject.
