If lungs could be retrieved for transplantation after circulatory arrest, the shortage of donors might be significantly alleviated. However, in such non-heart-beating donors, there is great concern that even a short period of warm ischemia will be deleterious for lung tissue, jeopardizing the transplant recipient. It was the purpose of this study to look for the efficacy of different methods of lung cooling inside a cadaver after circulatory arrest.
