According to Tokyo Medical and Dental University, when the research group sent oxygen to pigs and mice to exchange gas in an environment with low oxygen, oxygen in the blood increased and the symptoms of respiratory failure improved.It was developed with the hint of loach that breathes in the intestine when it becomes hypoxic, and this method is named after the English acronym for ventilation, etc., and was named the EVA (Enteral Ventilation) method.

　Respiratory failure with hypoxemia, which is also seen in new coronavirus infections, is being treated with ventilators and artificial lungs, but these medical devices are extremely expensive and require a high degree of specialization. In addition, the heavy burden on the patient's body has become a problem.Therefore, the development of a new treatment method has been awaited.

　Although some organisms, such as loaches, breathe in the intestine, it was not known whether gas exchange through the intestine was possible in mammals.Therefore, the research group developed an EVA method that injects pure oxygen gas and chemical substances rich in oxygen into the intestinal tract, and tested its effectiveness in pigs and mice.

　To promote this research, a crowdfunding fan who said, "I want to help patients who have difficulty breathing with the world's first intestinal breathing" from May 2021th (Sat) to June 5th (Wed), 15 at 6:30. Carry out the ding.The course is set from 23 yen per unit, and donations are solicited with the goal of 1 million yen.This project is the first business alliance between READYFOR Co., Ltd., which operates a crowdfunding service, and Tokyo Medical and Dental University.
