Zusammenfassung:Paediatric lung transplantation is a lifesaving option in selected patients with end-stage lung disease. Favourable long-term outcomes are limited by impaired mucus clearance, increased risk of infection resulting from immunosuppression, and chronic lung allograft dysfunction. Organ preservation techniques play an important role in the quality of donated organs. Barotrauma to donated lungs may arise from a combination of excessive recruitment manoeuvres and altitude change during air transportation. The Paragonix BAROguard Donor Lung Preservation System is an FDA-approved advanced organ recovery system that maintains continuous airway pressure of 15 cm of water during transportation of the donated lung(s) to the recipient. The Paragonix LUNGguard monitors temperature during transportation of donor lung(s), while the new BAROguard monitors both temperature and pressure during transportation of donor lung(s). In this publication, we present technical aspects of advanced preservation of paediatric donor lungs using the Paragonix BAROguard Donor Lung Preservation System.
