Safe Lung Flush Technique During Recovery From Donors After Circulatory Death

Donation after circulatory death is defined as donation after cardiac arrest and circulatory cessation. The number of circulatory death donors is growing and significantly increases the organ donor pool. Shortening the warm ischemia time is pivotal in the outcomes and survival after transplant. We d...

Summary:Donation after circulatory death is defined as donation after cardiac arrest and circulatory cessation. The number of circulatory death donors is growing and significantly increases the organ donor pool. Shortening the warm ischemia time is pivotal in the outcomes and survival after transplant. We describe simplified and safe technique for lung flush during lung recovery from donors after circulatory death.
