Tissue perfusion

Tissue perfusion refers to the process of delivering blood, which carries oxygen and nutrients, to the body's tissues and organs. This blood flow ensures that cells receive what they need to function properly and removes waste products. Adequate perfusion depends on a healthy heart, blood vessels, and blood pressure. When perfusion is reduced, tissues may not get enough oxygen, leading to potential damage or cell death, which can cause health issues. Maintaining proper tissue perfusion is essential for overall health and organ function.
