A Short Period of Ventilation without Perfusion Seems to Reduce Atelectasis without Harming the Lungs during Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion

Figure 4

Mean lung weight (± SEM) before and after modified and conventional EVLP in the aspect of eliminating lung atelectasis after initial EVLP where the lung is warmed up to 37°C and ventilated according to the golden standard for EVLP. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA. in each group. Significance was defined as (*), (**), (***), and (not significant, n.s.).
