BACKGROUND The ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) system has been used successfully to assess donor lungs. Perfadex (PX) is usually the flush and preservation solution in EVLP systems. We have used the extracellular-type-Kyoto (ET-K) solution containing 44 mEq/L potassium for clinical lung transplantation, investigating whether it rather than PX affects the EVLP system. METHODS We used domestic slaughterhouse pigs to analyze the EVLP system. After 20-minute warm ischemia and 6-hour cold ischemia, EVLP was performed for 2 hours. Pig heart-lung blocks were divided into the PX (n = 5) and ET-K (n = 5) groups depending on the flush/cold preservation solution. At the beginning, we discarded the first 100 mL of effluent in the PX group and the first 200 mL in the ET-K group. We measured pulmonary physiological data and potassium levels. RESULTS In both groups, perfusion for 2 hours showed no differences between the 2 groups with respect to the final flow, pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, PaO(2)/FiO(2), and shunt fraction. The potassium level in the perfusate was 4.4 mEq/L for the PX and 5.4 mEq/L for the ET-K group. CONCLUSIONS The pig EVLP system was not affected when ET-K was used instead of PX as the flush/preservation solution. The initial 200 mL of effluent should be discarded when using the ET-K to ensure that the potassium level does not increase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008168 Lung Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood. Lungs
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D002951 Citrates Derivatives of CITRIC ACID.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
