[Conservation of the lung in the course of 2 to 24 hours with delayed autotransplantation in the experiment].

Opportunities of preservation of the lung at +4 degrees C and in association of this temperature with hyperbaric oxygenation during 2 and 24 hours with postponed autotransplantation have been studied. In 74 experiments on dogs postponed autotransplantation of the lung was performed, including 46--with preservation during 2 hours, and 28--with preservation during 24 hours. Based on the studies carried out, it was found that in preservation of the lung during 2 hours at +4 degrees C or in association of +4 degrees C and hyperbaric oxygenation the lung could be successfully employed for postponed autotransplantation. It is felt that there is no considerable difference between the results of experiments with postponed autotransplatation of the lung in preservation during 2 and 24 hours, depending on different conditions of preservation.
