Hypothermic in situ perfusion of the porcine liver using Celsior or Ringer-lactate solution

Perfusion of isolated frogs heart with Ringer-tris solution.

Hypothermic Perfusion Preservation of Pancreas for Islet Grafts: Validation Using a Split Lobe Porcine Model.

The demand for high-quality islets for transplantation in type I diabetics will increase as the current clinical trials transition into standard of care. The mode of preservation of donor pancreata is critical to this mission since islets are very sensitive to ischemic injury. Hypothermic perfusion preservation (HPP) is being investigated for extended pancreas preservation in light of the benef...

The technique of hypothermic perfusion.

The machine described is in commercial production although the perfusions, to date, were performed with the prototype described by Ross (1960a). The extracorporeal circuit is mounted on the front of the machine (Fig. 1) under the vision of the perfusionist and comprises: Coronary suction reservoir (A) into which all wound and coronary sinus blood is returned by suction from a horizontally mount...

The Effect of ringer Lactate as the Priming Solution of the Cardiopulmonary by Pass Circuit on Plasma Potassium Levels after Open Heart Surgery in Children

Background: Conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) due to the higher volume of priming solution in comparison to the total blood volume in children requires careful consideration. Recently attention has been focused on the potential risk of hyperkalemia in these patients. Given its significant effects on cardiac rhythm, hyperkalemia is considered a medical emergency. In this cross-sectional st...
