ISHLT Journal Watch explores topics in cardiothoracic transplant-related anesthesiology and critical care this month. Issue editor Brigitte Hollander, MBChB FCICM, gathers topics from four contributors including:

  • The safety, semi-elective clinical integration, and one-year clinical outcomes of static preservation at 10° Celsius compared with convention preservation practice
  • Assessing the risks of adverse early and late outcomes in patients who develop PGD-3 with EVLP lung transplant versus standard LTX
  • A post-hoc analysis of the DanGer Shock trial—escalating mechanical circulatory support in patients with STEMI-related cardiogenic shock
  • Evaluating whether an open lung protective ventilation (OLPV) strategy improves donor lung utilization compared with conventional ventilation in deceased organ donors
