Perfusion Total

Total perfusion is an artificial simulation of blood flow in all vessels of the human body, that is, complete replacement of blood circulation by an artificial method. This process allows the doctor to diagnose the condition of the blood vessels and determine the causes of the disorders. As a result, the blood flow is examined, a course of treatment is developed, and the effectiveness of the procedures is monitored.

This technique is used in heart disease, organ transplantation, studying cardiac function, artificial ventilation and other medical operations that require the most accurate study of blood circulation.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 2-4 hours. The surgeon must open one of the blood vessels on the patient's body and run a pump or hose connected to a heart-lung machine into it. The doctor monitors blood flow and monitors blood pressure. This is done to ensure patient safety. In addition, the surgeon determines the cause of changes in blood circulation and suggests the optimal treatment method. In some cases, donor tissue transplantation or other complex interventions may be required.

Once the procedure is complete, surgeons close the wound or vascular opening and send the patient to the intensive care unit for recovery. Intensive care includes strict monitoring of the patient's heart and circulatory system.
