Great short primer on Total Liquid Ventilation (TLV), otherwise known as liquid breathing technology and how it could be used in deep-sea diving.

Note the brave sailor who agreed to essentially drown himself in perfluorocarbons to test his lungs' ability to extract O2 from the liquid!

It gets better. Because perfluorocarbons are more dense than even water, and lungs are too weak to fully breathe them out, one option is to use a pneumatic jacket to mechanically force chest compressions and assist the lungs in their duty. Plus, a tube sticking out of the femoral arteria to remove the carbon dioxide <3
