BACKGROUND: Organ donors are frequently trauma victims, but the impact of donor hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HSR) on pulmonary graft function has not been assessed. L-arginine treatment during reperfusion increases the production of endothelial nitric oxide and thus ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion injury. Objective of the present porcine study was to investigate the effect of donor hemorrhage on pulmonary graft function and potential beneficial effects of L-arginine administration.
METHODS: In the control-group (n=6), lungs were harvested from donors without hypotensive periods. In the HSR-group (n=6) and HSR-Arg-group (n=6), donors were subjected to hemorrhagic shock (40% blood shed) and resuscitation before harvest. Left lungs were transplanted after hypothermic preservation of 18 hr, and graft function was observed for 6 hr after reperfusion. Recipients in the HSR-Arg-group received a bolus of L-arginine (50 mg/kg BW) intravenously 5 min before reperfusion followed by a continuous intravenous administration of L-arginine 200 mg/kg BW for 2 hr. Tissue specimens and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were obtained at the end of the observation period.
RESULTS: Donor lung function did not differ between study groups. Compared with the control group, pulmonary graft gas exchange was significantly impaired in the HSR-group. Graft function in the HSR-Arg-group did not differ from control organs. Neutrophil fraction, protein content, and malondialdehyde levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in the HSR-group were higher compared with control and HSR-Arg-Group.
CONCLUSION: Although fulfilling ideal donor criteria, pulmonary graft function of lungs harvested from donors subjected to HSR is impaired, but improves significantly when l-arginine is administered during reperfusion.
