Popis: Ventilatory maneuvers during two hours of pulmonary artery occlusion in the hilar-stripped lung did little to accentuate or ameliorate depression of subsequent pulmonary function. Avoidance of complete collapse of the lung seemed more important to early function than did oxygen content of the inflating gas. The presence or absence of carbon dioxide in the ventilating gas did not clearly affect subsequent pulmonary function after pulmonary artery occlusion and hilar stripping. Bronchial artery interruption accompanying hilar stripping without bronchial division was associated with a heretofore unrecognized high incidence of distal bronchial ischemic injury. It is concluded that factors other than hilar stripping and temporary interruption of pulmonary artery flow should be sought to explain the early dysfunction following successful reimplantation of the lung.
