As far as I understand, blood vessels without liquid in them would collapse due to surface tension. To avoid this air can be substituted by any non-toxic water-solving liquid - alcohols, DMSO etc. In fact, there is no need to change from blood-substituting liquid to something other, we can just steadily change its composition lowering water fraction and raising water-solving ones.
