Study Summary

This trial aims to test a method of keeping the lungs cool during a specific period by monitoring temperature, oxygen levels, and ventilation. The lungs will be cooled to 4-8 degrees Celsius, with

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with lung disease. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, so it's important to contact the study organizers for detailed information on who can participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The 'Angel Cooler' system is being tested to see if it can effectively monitor temperature and oxygen levels while keeping donated lungs cool and ventilated before transplant.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a device rather than a drug, side effects may include potential complications related to lung preservation or transplantation procedures.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Explanted LungsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

After the lungs are explanted from the recipient donor, they will be connected to the "Angel Cooler" via a tracheostomy tube or special adaptor to assess the function of this device in providing cooling oxygen and positive pressure to keep the lungs inflated while on the back table. The lungs will be hooked up to the cooling machine for 15-20 minutes. During this time, investigators will monitor the airway temperature, pressure and oxygen concentration continuously during the entire preservation time. Once these measures are obtained and synced to a corresponding computer, investigators will then disconnect the lungs from the device and continue the standard procedure of sending them to pathology where they will be discarded per usual in lung transplantation.
