Conceptual framework of EVLP. EVLP extends the time to evaluate and recondition lungs, with the intention of increasing the availability of previously marginal lungs. Common variables used in the evaluation of donor lungs are displayed, though may vary by institution.

PVR = pulmonary vascular resistance; Pap = Peak airway pressure; Cstat = Static compliance; Cdyn = Dynamic compliance; P/F = PaO2/FiO2 ratio
