Oxygenation at 24 h after transplantation. At sacrifice, 24 h after reperfusion of the left-sided lung transplant, the PaO2/FIO2 ratio was measured after excluding the native right-sided lung by clipping the right-sided stem bronchus and right-sided pulmonary artery. The animals were tracheotomized and ventilated with an FIO2 of 1.0. The tumor necrosis factor tip peptide significantly increased gas exchange compared with all other study groups. *p < 0.003 versus NaCl. Data are mean ± SEM. i.t., intratracheally (8).
