Avoiding initial hypothermia does not improve liver graft quality in a porcine donation after circulatory death (DCD) model of normothermic perfusion.

Avoiding initial hypothermia does not improve liver graft quality in a porcine donation after circulatory death (DCD) model of normothermic perfusion.

<h4>Background</h4>Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of liver grafts donated after circulatory death (DCD) has shown promise in large animal and clinical trials. Following procurement, initial flush with a cold preservation solution is the standard of care. There is concern that initi...
