Abstract
Blood viscosity and its behaviors under various degrees of shear stress (rheology) plays an important role in clinical situations of importance to the anesthesiologist. This chapter discusses examples of these various phenomenon, such as the overall transport of oxygen in the circulatory system, the determination of total peripheral resistance, the pathogenesis of deepvein thrombosis, and tissue perfusion during openheart surgery. A sound knowledge of rheological principles is thus an important requirement for optimal patient care, and the anesthesia provider can manipulate these to provide the best care to the patient.
