Infos
  • Ensure complete flushing of blood
  • Decrease enzyme activity ol the organ (hypothermic)
  • Ischaemic reperfusion damage (IRI) reduction:
    1. Prevention of oxidative damage: reduced glutathione,
      histidine, lactobionate and mannitol
    2. Prevention of hypothermia-induced cellular swelling and oedema: membrane-impermeable substances mannitol and lactobionic acid
    3. Prevention grafts from tissue acidosis: histidine
    4. Regeneration of high-energy substances: glutamate
    5. Protecting against calcium overload : low potassium, low calcium and high magnesium content.

Celsior is an extracellular solution:
Na=100 mmol/L
K=15 mmol/L.
