Abstract
Background
Ex-Situ Lung Perfusion (ESLP) employs a membrane deoxygenator and mixed (N2/O2/CO2) or pure sweep gas (CO2) to target venous blood gas composition with physiologic pCO2 and pH. Clinically, mild permissive alkalosis counteracts elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) to improve perfusion. Increased PVR and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) during ESLP mirrors rising pro-inflammatory cytokines. Increased hydrostatic pressure worsens edema and lung function. We report improved ESLP outcomes using mild permissive alkalosis.
Methods
Twelve juvenile pig lungs underwent 12-hour Negative Pressure Ventilation (NPV)-ESLP with a physiologic pH (Control: pH 7.35-7.45, n=6) or mild permissive alkalosis (pH+: pH 7.45-7.55, n=6) by varying sweep CO2 delivery. Three left lungs per group were transplanted and assessed over 4-hours.
Results
Five Control lungs failed on ESLP due to high PAPs, low compliance, and poor oxygenation. Repeat Controls (n=6) were performed to attain 12-hours of ESLP. There were no failures in the pH+ group. Results are pH+ vs Control. Oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2 454.2 vs 438.2; P = .37) and dynamic compliance (21.38 vs 22.22 mL/cmH2O; P = .41) were stable over 12-hour NPV-ESLP. Mean evaluation pH/pCO2/HCO3- was 7.50/15.6/14.5 vs 7.41/38.7/24.7. Control lungs required repeat THAM and milrinone boluses on ESLP to prevent acidosis and treat elevated PVR; this was not necessary in the pH+ group. Weight-gain/hour was similar (1.23% vs 1.38%; P = .37). Mean left lung PF ratios 4-hours post-transplantation were 301 mmHg vs 196 mmHg (P = .11). Control TNF-⍺ and IL-6 perfusate concentrations were significantly greater.
Conclusions
Mild permissive alkalosis porcine NPV-ESLP demonstrated more reliable preservation with reduced inflammation compared to a physiologic pH strategy.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
