Subnormothermic ex vivo lung perfusion attenuates ischemia reperfusion injury from donation after circulatory death donors.

Use of normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) was adopted in clinical practice to assess the quality of marginal donor lungs. Subnormothermic perfusion temperatures are in use among other solid organs to improve biochemical, clinical and immunological parameters. In a rat EVLP model of donation...
