    Because liquid breathing is still a highly experimental technique, there are several proposed approaches. Total liquid ventilation. Although total liquid ventilation (TLV) with completely liquid-filled lungs can be beneficial, the complex liquid-filled tube system required is a disadvantage compared to gas ventilation—the system must incorporate a membrane oxygenator, heater, and pumps to ...
