Rhythm restoration1

  • Uneven red blood cell arrivals cause oxygen shortages despite increased blood flow

    Where this hypothesis actsRepair-site capillaries during mild heat and pressure as systemic support declines

    What is proposedRegularize erythrocyte arrivals to shorten delivery gaps

    With whatPhysical or surgical intervention

    HowExperimentally control arrival patterns in microfluidic bifurcation networks coupled to oxygen-sensitive tissue constructs, preserving mean flow and recruitment

    Possible resultPossible reduction in tissue-oxygen deficits and improvement in functional repair
