Delivering Oxygen Through the Gut A first-in-human study shows that a liquid oxygen carrier delivered through the intestine is well tolerated, opening a potential new route for supporting patients with severe respiratory failure.

And now for something completely different: a man who breathes through his rear.

It's called enteral ventilation, and it could save lives when lung ventilators fail.

I breathe through my butt, my anus. It's called enteral ventilation. Oxygen can be delivered through the rectum and into the wall of the intestine to compensate for reduced oxygen. Dur.
