hypothermic perfusion

Hypothermic perfusion is a medical technique used to protect organs during surgery or transplants by cooling them down. This process involves reducing the temperature of the body or the affected organs, which slows down their metabolism and reduces their need for oxygen. By doing this, doctors can safely work on the organs for longer periods without causing damage. It’s particularly useful in situations like heart surgery or preserving donor organs before transplantation, enhancing the chances of successful recovery and function after the procedure.
