👉 The tested fluid, often referred to as a blood substitute or artificial blood, is a medical innovation designed to mimic the essential functions of natural human blood. It's engineered to carry oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body, similar to how real blood does. This fluid typically contains components such as oxygen-carrying molecules like hemoglobin or perfluorocarbons, red blood cells (or their synthetic equivalents), and sometimes clotting factors to prevent bleeding. While not a perfect replica of natural blood, these substitutes aim to provide life-saving support in critical situations, such as severe hemorrhage or when blood transfusions are not feasible due to compatibility issues.
