Off-Pump Bilateral Cadaveric Lung Transplantation Is Associated With Profound Intraoperative Hypothermia

摘要

Objectives: Changes in body temperature (BT) during lung transplantation never have been reported. The authors investigated the time-dependent changes in BT during lung transplantation and compared them between off-pump lung transplantation and lung transplantation using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
