Tissue response to ischemia and hypoxia<br />
• Cooling prolongs tolerance to ischemia in all<br />
types <strong>of</strong> tissues.<br />
» Donski, Br J Plast Surg 1980 - effect <strong>of</strong> cooling on<br />
groin flaps in rabbit - 86% survival after cooling for 1-3<br />
days.<br />
» Anderl, 1977 - stored a human groin flap for 24h.<br />
» Cooley, J Microsurg 1981 - in rats, max ischemia 6h at<br />
body temp and 48h if cooled.<br />
» Walkinshaw, PRS 1988 - proximal bowel segments<br />
are more resistant to warm ischemia at 2h.<br />
