Novel oxygenation technique for hypothermic machine perfusion of liver grafts: Validation in porcine Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD) liver model

Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion improves outcomes in Liver Transplantation, but application is limited as O2 is supplied by a stationary circuit. A novel technique of O2 “pre-charge” in a portable pump would broaden use and further mitigate ischemia damage from organ transport.
