reoxygenate
Replenish air supply
To reoxygenate is to restore oxygen to something that has been depleted of it.
Blood is reoxygenated when it passes through the lungs, picking up fresh oxygen after delivering its supply to body tissues.
The term appears in medical contexts—The heart-lung machine reoxygenates blood during surgery—and environmental ones, describing efforts to restore oxygen to waterways or soil.
