How Crocetin works
Trans sodium crocetinate is a novel drug, which has been shown to increase whole-body oxygen consumption during hemorrhagic shock. It works by increasing the diffusion rate of oxygen through plasma rather than on a specific symptom of hemorrhagic shock and has been suggested as a general treatment for hypoxemia. Thus it could also be beneficial for treating respiratory insufficiencies.
