[Prevention of normothermic hepatic ischemia during in situ liver perfusion with three different preservation solutions: experimental analysis by realtime infrared radiation thermography].

Objective: To establish the usefulness of infrared radiation thermography on monitoring in situ liver perfusion with different preservation solutions during liver harvesting.

Methods: Twenty-four adult male Wistar rats, weighing 385.31 g were randomly divided into four groups of six animals each according to the solution used to perfuse the liver (Euro-Collins® solution--EC group; Custodiol® solution--CUST group; Celsior® solution--CEL group and Ringer-Lactate solution--RL group).
