Abstract

See full text

This invention is directed to a method of attenuating or preventing the adverse side-effects of a perfluorochemical (PFC) emulsion on the hemostatic system and serum chemistry of an animal. The method includes intravenously administering a corticosteroid to an animal prior to intravenous administration of a PFC emulsion, in an amount sufficient to improve the adverse effects of the PFC upon the hemostatic system and serum triglyceride/enzyme levels of the animal. After administration of the corticosteroid, the PFC emulsion is administered intravenously. Preferably, the corticosteroid is dexamethasone, and the PFC is perfluorodichlorooctane.
