Hydrogen gas inhalation during ex vivo lung perfusion of donor lungs recovered after cardiac death
Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) is a system that circulates normothermic perfusate into procured lungs, allowing for improved lung function and lung assessment. We investigated whether ventilation with hydrogen gas during EVLP improves the donation after cardiac death (DCD) lung function, and whether this effect persists after actual transplantation.
