Cardiopulmonary Bypass During a Second-Lung Implantation Improves Postoperative Oxygenation after Sequential Double-Lung Transplantation
The authors' results suggest that the use of CPB started after first graft implantation and before second recipient lung removal appears to benefit oxygenation and reduces the occurrence of severe pulmonary edema in the first transplanted lung.

Nitric Oxide Attenuates the Inflammatory Effects of Air During Extracorporeal Circulation
Cardiopulmonary bypass causes a systemic inflammatory response reaction that may contribute to postoperative complications. One cause relates to the air/blood interface from the extracorporeal circuit. The modulatory effects of blending nitric oxide (NO) gas into the ventilation/sweep gas of the membrane lung was studied in a porcine model of air-induced inflammation in which NO gas was added and compared with controls with or without an air/blood interface.
