reoxygenates
Replenishes air supply
Reoxygenates means to restore oxygen to something that has been depleted of it.
Blood reoxygenates as it passes through the lungs.
A pond reoxygenates when aeration systems introduce fresh air.
The term appears most often in medical and environmental contexts: The machine reoxygenates the patient's blood during surgery.
