Microcirculation and Hypothermia Model

Ischemia time is still one of the most limiting factors in microsurgery. It influences the success rate and survival of transferred or replanted tissue. Animal model of microcirculation in hypothermal conditions is one of the possibilities to analyze potential of decreased temperature and its influence on blood cells and perfusion. We describe the model including necessary technique and devices. Additionally, explanatory experiment is presented, providing wide range of data and remarks on model usability.
