The process of flooding fluid through the artery to saturate the surrounding tissue. In regional perfusion, a specific area of the body (usually an arm or a leg) is flooded with high doses of anticancer drugs.
pumping of blood or artificial media through the blood vessels of an isolated organ for the purpose of nourishment.
pumping a liquid into an organ or tissue (especially by way of blood vessels)
the supplying of fluid to an organ or tissue. The passing of blood through the vasculature of an organ or tissue.
continuous supply of oxygen through adequate blood flow to the tissues
the flow of blood through the blood vessels and skin
The essential flow of blood through the tissue of a normal organ.
Arterial flow of blood through an organ or tissue.
The act of forcing liquid to flow through the vessels of an organ. In heart surgery, the term perfusion refers specifically to use of the heart-lung machine for cardiopulmonary bypass.
delivery of blood to the heart
process of delivering arterial blood to the cells and tissues of the body.
This is the process by which the brain is supplied with blood and therefore oxygen. The process is complicated and not yet fully understood. Where blood pressure falls, or where INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION (qv) creates resistance to normal blood flow, perfusion may be impaired. The damaged brain is less good at making normal adjustments in arterial size to 'autoregulate' blood flow, adding a further complication. Obviously, this problem requires skilled neurosurgical management.
chemotherapy technique that may be used when melanoma occurs on an arm or leg. The flow of blood to and from the limb is stopped for a while with a tourniquet, and anticancer drugs are put directly into the blood of the limb. This allows the patient to receive a high dose of drugs in the area where the melanoma occurred.
an act or instance of perfusing; specifically : the pumping of a fluid through an organ or tissue
passage of blood through the lungs.
Perfusion is the passage of fluid through a tissue. It can refer to the passage of blood through the lung tissue to pick up oxygen from the air in the alveoli and the release of carbon dioxide. Or, perfusion can refer to the deliberate introduction of fluid into a tissue, usually by injection into the blood vessels supplying the tissue.
circulation of blood through organs or tissues.
the degree of blood flow to the area of interest (e.g., heart muscle)
Passing of a fluid through spaces. The pouring of a fluid. Supplying an organ or tissue with nutrients and oxygen by injecting blood or a suitable fluid into an artery.
The blood flow through a tissue.
To introduce a liquid into tissue or an organ by circulation; The forcing of blood, through arteries, into specific regions of the body.
Bathing an organ or tissue with a fluid. In regional perfusion, a specific area of the body (usually an arm or a leg) receives high doses of anticancer drugs through a blood vessel. Such a procedure is performed to treat cancer that has not spread.
Usually Coronary/Myocardial perfusion: Flow of blood to the heart and/or blood vessels surrounding the heart.
Supplying of an organ or tissue with nutrients and oxygen by injecting blood or other suitable fluid into an artery
In physiology, perfusion is the process of nutritive delivery of arterial blood to a capillary bed in the biological tissue.
