Injectable Oxygen Particles

Scientists Invent Oxygen Particle That If Injected, Allows You To Live Without Breathing

via TechWench

A team of scientists at the Boston Children’s Hospital have invented what is being considered one the greatest medical breakthroughs in recent years. They have designed a microparticle that can be injected into a person’s bloodstream that can quickly oxygenate their blood. This will even work if the ability to breathe has been restricted, or even cut off entirely. The person can ‘breathe’ for up to 20 minutes.

Not sure where this lives in The Gatecrashers, but that is some awesome tech.  Sounds like it would be a bit more comfortable than the liquid oxygen popularized in The Abyss.
