______________________
Total peripheral resistance
Flow =
Perfusion Pressure
____________________
Resistance x Viscosity
When you ↓ temp you ↑ Viscosity.
What should you do?

Decreased O2 in the microcirculatory system is offset by what?
↑ Flow in the capillaries from ↓ viscosity.
Hemodilution Rationale for CPB
Reduce donor exposure
Optimize Cerebral perfusion
Advantages of Hemodilution
↓ viscosity
↓ exposure to homologous blood
↑ Regional Flow
↑ O2 delivery
