Résumé

Hypoxemia is the most common barrier to lungs being transplanted from eligible organ donors who are brain dead (BD). Atelectasis is the principal reversible contributing factor to hypoxemia after brain death. We evaluated prospectively whether ventilation in the prone position in donors who are BD would reverse atelectasis, improve oxygenation, and result in more lungs being transplanted. Organ donors managed at the recovery center of 1 organ procurement organization over a 2-year period who exhibited hypoxemia (partial pressure of arterial oxygen [PaO A total of 40 lung-eligible donors who were BD with hypoxemia and atelectasis were managed in a prone position and compared with 79 donors in supine position. Baseline PaO Ventilation in the prone position reverses atelectasis and rapidly and sustainably improves oxygenation in organ donors who are BD with hypoxemia. This effect appears to translate into more lungs being transplanted.

BACKGROUND
Hypoxemia is the most common barrier to lungs being transplanted from eligible organ donors who are brain dead (BD). Atelectasis is the principal reversible contributing factor to hypoxemia after brain death. We evaluated prospectively whether ventilation in the prone position in donors who are BD would reverse atelectasis, improve oxygenation, and result in more lungs being transplanted.
METHODS
Organ donors managed at the recovery center of 1 organ procurement organization over a 2-year period who exhibited hypoxemia (partial pressure of arterial oxygen [PaO
RESULTS
A total of 40 lung-eligible donors who were BD with hypoxemia and atelectasis were managed in a prone position and compared with 79 donors in supine position. Baseline PaO
CONCLUSIONS
Ventilation in the prone position reverses atelectasis and rapidly and sustainably improves oxygenation in organ donors who are BD with hypoxemia. This effect appears to translate into more lungs being transplanted.
