Yes it does actually work! There’s a recent experiment done by Japanese scientist that injected liquid oxygen into the intestines through the rectum and it showed that ones blood could be significantly oxygenated through those means. Imagine not having to intubate people for surgery and emergency purposes. Could provide a lot of lifesaving benefits.

Lol injecting liquid oxygen might do a lot, but mostly damage
Seems like it’s not true liquid oxygen but “a liquid (called a perfluorocarbon) that can be loaded with much more oxygen than water normally carries”.

Ok that makes a lot more sense!
Oh! Like in The Abyss?
You can actually breathe PFCs too. They’ve tested having deep sea diver’s helmets filled with PFCs and they breathe the oxygenated liquid.
I mean, you gotta use a tube to get the stuff in there so you can breathe through your butt. I guess it’s better for back surgeries?
