perfúziós
Perfúziós, or perfusion, is the process of delivering a fluid through the circulatory system or through the microvasculature of a tissue. In medicine, it most commonly refers to the passage of blood or a blood-like perfusate to tissues, supplying oxygen and nutrients while removing waste.
Perfusion is driven by a pressure gradient and depends on intact microcirculation. Key parameters include flow
Perfusion can be systemic, as in ordinary circulation, or regional, such as isolated limb perfusion or targeted
Organ preservation has evolved from static cold storage to machine perfusion, which circulates hypothermic or normothermic
Applications span organ transplantation, targeted cancer therapy, and perfusion-based imaging in diagnostics. Equipment includes pumps, oxygenators,
