title: [Current status of lung preservation for organ transplantation].
abstract: This paper gives a survey of the development and the present state of the preservation of isolated lungs intended for transplantation. Hypothermal perfusion with a colloid-containing electrolyte solution, supplemented with certain additives, without ventilation of the preserved lung is obviously a technique that is ready to be used in practice. The present priorities in experimental research are: elaboration of a standardized preservation technique, of which the expenditure can be justified in a clinical transplantation program, and establishment of parameters for the control of its efficiency.
