THE HE CONTINUING search for a suitable method of preserving organs has prompted investigators to combine hyperbaric oxygenation with hypothermia. Humphries and associates¹ have perfused isolated dog kidneys with hypothermic solutions for periods of 24 hours under pressures of 3 atmospheres absolute of 100% oxygen. Only one of 34 kidneys subjected to this procedure excreted urine following reimplantation, but it maintained the animal's life for 12 days. Manax et al² have reported viability of canine kidneys reimplanted after 24 hours of storage. These kidneys were flushed with hypothermic, dextran 40 and then immersed in a balanced salt solution contained within a hyperbaric chamber. The kidneys were not perfused and were maintained at 4 C in 3 atm 100% oxygen for 24 hours. Six dogs survived with reimplanted kidneys following contralateral nephrectomy. More recently, these same authors³ have reported the clinical application of this technique in three patients. . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
