Pediatric Perfusion

Pediatric perfusion refers to the process of delivering blood and oxygen to a child's body tissues, ensuring all organs function properly. Because children's bodies are smaller and their organ systems are still developing, their circulation needs are different from adults. Pediatric perfusion involves specialized techniques and equipment during surgeries or medical procedures to maintain adequate blood flow, prevent tissue damage, and support recovery. It requires careful monitoring and adjustments to meet each child's unique needs, helping ensure their health and safety during critical medical interventions.
