High uncertainty for single vessels cautions against clinical use; leaves open refinement of network-level microvascular models.
A theoretical model of microvascular blood flow accurately predicts integrated network hemodynamics but exhibits high uncertainty for individual vessel segments, explaining low capillary hematocrits via the Fahraeus effect and phase separation.
Pries et al. (1990) studied this question.
