Hypothermic Machine Perfusion Preservation of the DCD Kidney: Machine Effects
Figure 1
Machine perfusion characteristics of DCD kidneys pumped on a Waters RM3 or an ORS LifePort device for 24 hours. Mean perfusion pressure (a), vascular resistance during perfusion (b), average perfusate temperature (c), initial and end perfusate pO2 values (d), end of perfusion delivery of oxygen (DVO2) (e), and end of perfusion perfusate lactate concentrations (f) values are mean ± S.D., * relative to LifePort, per group.
