Cold preservation of donor liver can injure the microcirculation enough to impair the function and survival of the transplanted liver. In this study, prewarming the donor liver to 10 degrees C to 12 degrees C after cold storage prior to implantation significantly increased survival rates in rats 1 week after surgery. Following 6, 8, or 9 hours of cold storage in chilled normal saline, prewarming increased survival rates from 40% to 78.6%, from 0% to 35.7%, and from 0% to 14.3%, respectively. The results suggest that pretreatment of the donor liver with warmth following cold storage and before implantation will improve the survival rate of liver transplanted rats.
