Anal oxygen administration may be life-safer

So watch out for open flames when you fart?

It does sound like it will end up being some niche application if it does translate to human application. I mean if it was fully developed now it could possibly be used for the COVID patients to prevent them from getting up to the ventilator stage.

I also wonder if there would be any meaningful uptake if instead of carbonated drinks one tried oxygenated drinks. Again with the warning of open flames.

William S Burroughs, too, I’d wager.

I keep thinking of this.

Anime News Network is reporting that the technique is called the “EVA method”, partly as an acronym for “enteral ventilation via anus”, and partly as a reference to the LCL liquid breathed by the pilots in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Props to ANN for the still they chose to illustrate the story.
