Question Artificial blood

Hi all this is my first time in posting on this site. Question I would like to ask.
I read an article in 1990 about artificial blood. How experiments were being carried out in USA, Japan and other areas. It was able to carry oxygen to parts of the body even in ths case of burns. I know that blood was drained from a monkey leaving 2% and the rest was this artificial blood.
It looked promising at the time, does anyone know the final outcome?

Having got home I have looked up what it was called. PFC ( Perfluorochemicals) A blood substitute.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
