What is the difference between perfusion and flow?
Flow is the amount of blood flowing through an organ, tissue or vessel at a given time. Perfusion is the flow per given volume or mass of tissue. Thus a large organ could have greater flow but less perfusion then a small one such as an ovary because the ovary receives much more blood per gram of tissue.
When perfusion to the core of the body decreases what happens?
Blood is shunned away from the skin.

What does the medical abbreviation CPP mean?
Cerebral Perfusion PressureCerebral Perfusion Pressure
What is a Myocardial perfusion scan used for?
does myocardial perfusion scan show blockage in heart system.
Can extreme cold weather cause dizziness?
Studies have shown that vessels constrict when temperature decreases, which may result in changes in brain perfusion. Some studies even suggest significant increase of strokes when temperature decreases by as little as 5 degrees. The dizziness experienced under these circumstances may be signs of insufficient blood perfusion. A good way to prevent this is to dress in layers and refrain from sudden changes in temperature. Also, since thirst sometimes seem less frequent during cold weather, adequate fluid intake is especially recommended especially on dry days to improve vascular perfusion.
Which of the choices below does not involve tissue perfusion?
Tissue perfusion is the amount of blood that the tissues receive during circulation. When a person has decreased tissue perfusion, the tissues are receiving inadequate blood supply.
Exchange of gases?
perfusion
What is perfusion phase in medical terms?
The perfusion phase is the part of a contrast scan in which the contrast is moving into the blood vessels.
The circulation of blood within an organ or tissue in adequate amounts to meet the cells' current needs is?
Perfusion
What does perfusion refer to in physiology?
In reference to physiology perfusion is the process of blood being delivered to a capillary bed in the biological tissue. Normal levels of perfusion can be tested by looking at skin color or skin temperature.
Would pulmonary edema cause disruption in perfusion while diffusion would be normal?
it desrupt both perfusion and diffusion in lungs
What is ventilation perfusion coupling?
Ventilation perfusion coupling is the amount of gas reaching alveoli & blood flow in pulmonary capillaries; local autoregulation.
Can you have alcohol after a myocardial perfusion scan?
yes
