Abstract
Ischemia, shock, and reperfusion exhibit microscopic flow conditions that are inadequate to fulfill the nutritive role of the circulation. A common characteristic of these states is the lack of sufficient arterio-venous pressure gradient to propel blood through the capillary network. This insufficiency can occur in the normal microcirculation, but is invariably aggravated in pathophysiological conditions as a consequence of cellular dysfunctions that increase the hydraulic resistance of the smallest blood vessels.
