title: Prevention of acute pulmonary edema during isolated perfusion for 24 hours.
abstract: Fifty-nine canine lungs were perfused with cryoprecipitated plasma, silica gel fraction, or modified silica gel fraction (MSGF) af different perfusate pressures for periods up to 24 hours under hypothermic conditions. High perfusate pressures accounted for all poor perfusion results. The use of MSGF at a low perfusate pressure protected all the lungs from the appearance of pulmonary edema during perfusion, and the morphology was consistently maintained for 24 hours.
