The aim of this study was to determine the effect of leukocyte-endothelial interaction and capillary perfusion on the microcirculation of muscle flaps submitted to ischemia in normothermic and hypothermic conditions. The cremaster muscle flap model was employed. Sixty rats were studied in six groups: normothermic and hypothermic control groups and groups that underwent reperfusion after 4 and 6 hours of ischemia in both normothermic and hypothermic conditions. In each group the following measurements were made: main vessel diameters, red blood cell velocities, the number of perfused capillaries, and the number of leukocytes rolling and sticking in the postcapillary venules. Hypothermia decreased the flow rate significantly and eliminated leukocytes from the microcirculation. Six hours of ischemia under normothermic conditions proved to be lethal for these muscle flaps, whereas hypothermia preserved flap viability.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007036	Hypothermia, Induced	Abnormally low BODY TEMPERATURE that is intentionally induced in warm-blooded animals by artificial means. In humans, mild or moderate hypothermia has been used to reduce tissue damages, particularly after cardiac or spinal cord injuries and during subsequent surgeries.

D013524	Surgical Flaps	Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region.
