Background Direct lung ultrasound evaluation (CLUE) technique was proven to be an accurate method for monitoring extravascular lung water in donor lungs during ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) in an expe
Ex vivo lung perfusion restores normothermia, ventilation and circulation to donor lungs, typically after a period of cold ischemia. This allows donor lungs to be evaluated prior to transplantation. W
Use of normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) was adopted in clinical practice to assess the quality of marginal donor lungs. Subnormothermic perfusion temperatures are in use among other solid or
