ECMO for Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage and Severe Hypovolemic Respiratory Failure from Silicone Embolism (EP Video)

This study demonstrates that the exposure of the lung grafts to BV during cold storage can impart potent cytoprotective effects to lung cold ischaemia/reperfusion injury and significantly improve the lung graft function following extended cold preservation and transplantation by the mechanism of a reduction in oxidative injury and following inflammatory events.
