Currently, the polymer sodium polyacrylate.  It is nicknamed "super slurper" because it can absorb 400-800 times its body weight in water.  Oh yeah, it is used in a variety of applications, including diapers.  Pretty cool, huh?

Liquid Breathing\n\nA lot of you I am sure have seen the movie "The Abyss". If not then it doesn't matter but what is important however, is one of the diving techniques that they use. This technique is called Liquid Breathing. Until not long ago, people thought that this was fictitious and was not possible but in fact it has been around for a lot longer than you might think!\n\nThe general type of liquid used by the US Navy and other Navies in the world generally have a perfluorocarbon type composition. The type of halide attached onto the molecule depends but it is either fluorine or bromine. However, the only problem associated with using bromine is that it is a very strong greenhouse gas but it could be regenerated through special filters and rebreathers.\n\nADVANTAGES\n\nIt  seems like an odd concept but:\n\n1- Due to its density, Liquivent (marketed name for liquid breathing liquid) can carry as much as 25 times as much oxygen than blood and it has enormous potential for patients with lung and breathing disorders. \n\n2- If fluid is taken into the lungs whilst diving, then the pressure in the body could match that of the pressure of the surrounding water. Thus breathing would be easier and lower concentrations would only be needed. \n\n3- Thus, this would also eliminate the need for decompression and its inherent problems i.e. nitrogen narcosis and the bends.\n\n4- A given volume of oxygen-saturated fluorocarbon contains 3 times as much oxygen as the same volume of air or whole blood.\n\n5- According to the movie "The Abyss", the deepest suit dive was to 4800ft which is equivalent to about 300atmospheres of pressure! Tests with mice have been done at pressures of up to 8000ft.\n\nHISTORY\n\nThis concept originated in the mid 60's when Dr Kylstra a physiologist realised that salt solutions could be saturated with oxygen at high pressures. However, after several experiments he concluded that this mixture becomes toxic due to the build up of carbon dioxide. Therefore, a new mixture that could be saturated with oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide quickly and efficiently had to be thought of.\n\nAfter further experimentation in 1969, Dr Clark realised that oxygen and carbon dioxide were very soluble in fluorocarbon liquids like freon. Assuming the lungs could cope with this material, Dr Clark figured that these fluorocarbons could support respiration of animals.\n\nLater developments\n\nDuring later years, the techniques of liquid breathing were constantly refined and improved. The survival rate of all the tested animals in recent years has been very high, thanks mainly to improvements in carbon dioxide elimination. Current liquids used can dissolve over 65 ml of oxygen and 228 ml of carbon dioxide per 100 ml perfluorocarbon. By the early 1990s this procedure was developed:-\n\n   1. The animal was anesthetized with intravenous sodium thiopental.\n   2. The animal was put on its back. A tube was placed down its airway, ready for the liquid breathing medium.\n   3. A blood sample was taken. The temperature of the liquid was adjusted correspondingly. It was no longer necessary to make the animals hypothermic.\n   4. The perfluorocarbon was instilled into the animal's lungs through the tube.\n   5. A floor-mounted 3-litre reservoir was filled with the perfluorocarbon. The liquid was driven by a pump through a series of machines which warmed and oxygenated the liquid and took the carbon dioxide out of it. The liquid flowed through a tube into a 3-way pneumatic valve which directed flow to the animal. A computer controlled the inspiration (18 ml of fluid per second), pumping the liquid into the animal's lungs, then back out again to the reservoir, at a rate of about 6 complete respirations per minute.\n   6. At the end of the test, the animal was tilted for about 15 seconds and the perfluorocarbon was allowed to drain from the lungs. This can be seen in the film The Abyss where Ensign Monk drain

Halothane, 2-Bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (structure F3C-CHBrCl), is listed in the Merck Index, 13th Ed, as an anesthetic for both human and veterinary purposes.  It is in some ways analagous to some of the refrigerants (Freons), but I don't find it listed for that purpose in the CRC.\n\nHere's a wikipedia reference for more info:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halothane

The dentist should have your medical history and give you the paper that tells you the precautions.  Nitrous oxide affects people in different ways.  I had it once and I hated it!  The whole time I was in the chair it felt like a was spinning a thousand miles an hour in that chair.  Couldn't wait til it was over with!

The most obvious one is chloroform, CHCl3.\nIt is created by reacting methane with chlorine free radicals.  I think its a UV light thats used to create the radical, but im not certain.\n\nIt can be used as an anaesthetic, administered orally. Whenever you see someone on a film pass out when a hankie is helt to their mouth its meant to have chloroform on it. More recently it has been used more as a solvent by chemistry labs. Although its main use is in the  production of freon, the thing in fridges that help to keep them cold.

thiopentone sodium or pentothal is commonly known as truth serum- remember the dialogue in the film "true lies"- arnold and the doctor\n\nit is routinely used in anaesthesia\nbut the effect is highly exaggerated- it does not work like the name-so dont try it\n\nthis drug is to be used only by trained aneasthetists- it will kill

Chloroform is often used as a tool in kidnapping, especially in books and movies. The use of chloroform to knock out a victim was a recurrent plot device in 1980s television series such as Knight Rider and The A-Team, as well as in Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005). Typically, the villain would spill a few drops from a small bottle onto a handkerchief, and then sneak up behind the victim. When the handkerchief was held over the mouth of the victim, they would struggle for a few seconds before slumping unconscious. After-effects were usually limited to a brief headache. In reality, a dose far greater than a few drops inhaled over a short period of time would be required to knock somebody out. Such a dose could also be lethal.

It is Hazardous, and you should definitely always keep it away from children.  Ingredients contain Grapefruit Oil from its skins.  Usually extracted in Florida.  It appears as a yellowish to reddish-yellow liquid.  It smells very sweet and fresh.  It is an oil, therefore it is insoluble in water.  Its flash point is 111 degrees farenheit.  (Special Clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus' should be worn when fighting fires involving essential oils or chemicals.) - most information from hazard.com\n\nMost routes of exposure are from skin contact, eye contact, and ingestion.  It is non-Carcinogenic, which means it does not cause cancer.  No known medical conditions are aggravated by overexposure of this chemical.  No one to date has ever been overexposed, therefore the effects are unknown.  The chemical may be irritating to the eyes, skin, if inhaled and if swallowed.  If eye contact occurs, you are supposed to flush immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes and contact a physician.  Skin contact emergency involves removal of contaminated clothing or shoes, and you are to wash the affected areas thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes, and contacting a physician is necessary as well.\n\nInhalation of this chemical may cause breathing to stop, keep the chemical out of exposure to fresh air for environmental hazard purposes.  If ingestion occurs, oversaturation by drinking plenty of water is essential, and a poison control center or physician should be called immediately.\n\nIt will not undergo Hazardous Polymerization and is stable- will not react violently with water.\n\ndo NOT allow the chemical to come in contact with strong acids, alkalis, or oxidizing agents.  (CO and unidentified organic compounds may be formed during combustion.)\n\nLeak and waste disposal procedures :  Do not have around any ignition sources.  Must be contained in a ventilated area.  Recover all free product in case of spill.  Absorb the remainder of the vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material.  Self-contained breathing apparatus' are recommended for any major spills...  Report spills to appropriate authorities if needed.\n\nTry http://hazard.com/msds/mf/gsc/temp/md100295\n\nI probably should have just given that to you in the first place.

My husband asked the same question right before his last surgery.  They said the anesthesia could make him sick and he could accidentally aspirate it (suck it back down into his lungs).  That's why they won't even let you have ice chips.  Good luck!

probably ether or chloroform

Yes.  The methane and hydrogen, the main ingredients, are flamable.  The perfect circumstances?  That's a tough one.  Perhaps if you were a bit stoned so that it would be humorous?

Hi there,\n\nWe have to use 'distilled' water for medical preparations.\n\nHere's why-\nNormal water contains salts like sodium chloride, calcium and magnesium salts and when we use the same kind of water in medical preparations, the chemicals in the medicines are likely to react with the salts in water. Also, if there are any physical impurities in ordinary water, it is not safe for medical preparations.\n\nHope this solved your query. If not, please let me kno and I'll be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny
