Improved metabolism and redox state with a novel preservation solution: implications for donor lungs after cardiac death (DCD)
Lungs donated after cardiac death (DCD) are an underutilized resource for a dwindling donor lung transplant pool. Our study investigates the potential of a novel preservation solution, Somah, to better preserve statically stored DCD lungs, for an extended time period, when compared to low-potassium dextran solution (LPD). We hypothesize that Somah is a metabolically superior organ preservation ...
متن کاملMotor Load in Dcd
Previous research has reported mixed findings regarding executive function (EF) abilities in developmental coordination disorder (DCD), which is diagnosed on the basis of significant impairments in motor skills. The current study aimed to assess whether these differences in study outcomes could result from the relative motor loads of the tasks used to assess EF in DCD. Children with DCD had sig...
متن کاملLungs from donation after circulatory death donors: an alternative source to brain-dead donors? Midterm results at a single institution.
OBJECTIVES Donor organ shortage remains to be the major limitation in lung transplantation, and donation after circulatory death (DCD) might represent one way to alleviate this problem. DCD was introduced to our institution in 2007 and has been a part of our clinical routine since then. Here, we present the mid-term results of lung transplantation from DCD in a single institution and compare th...
متن کاملThe impact of alteplase on pulmonary graft function in donation after circulatory death – An experimental study
OBJECTIVE Lung transplantation is hampered by the lack of organs resulting in deaths on the waiting list. The usage of donation after circulatory death (DCD) lungs would dramatically increase donor availability. The most optimal organ preservation method, and the need for antithrombotic and fibrinolytic treatment to prevent thrombosis in the donor lungs is currently on debate. The present study...
متن کاملFeasibility of Lung Transplantation From Donation After Circulatory Death Donors Following Portable Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion: A Pilot Study.
BACKGROUND Donation after circulatory death (DCD) has the potential to significantly alleviate the shortage of transplantable lungs. We report our initial experience with the use of portable ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) with the Organ Care System Lung device for evaluation of DCD lungs. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of the DCD lung transplantation (LTx) experience at a single i...
