Reperfusion Injury
Reperfusion Injury
Reperfusion Injury
Definition
Reperfusion injury : cellular injury
caused by the reperfusion of
physiologic concentration of oxygen
to cells that have been exposed to
injurious but non lethal hypoxic
condition1
Other term : hiperperfusion injury, re-
oxigenation injury

In some clinical situation, a substantial
part of the ischemic injury may not have
occurred during the period of ischemia
but during the period of reperfusion.
Principle
Reduce CMR O2
Minimize Free radical and inflammatory factors production
Summary
Reperfusion injury is the hidden
danger after successful perfusion
