The metabolic rate increases, and the body begins to demand much more oxygen. This oxygen arrives with difficulty because the surgical procedure in itself alters its transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is to say, <\/span><b>the tissue asks for more fuel to heal, but receives less. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A deficiency state that causes additional damage and more edema.
