Euro-Collins' solution

01/01/2003 - "Control (Group I) lungs were perfused with modified Euro-Collins solution (depolarizing) and reperfused immediately (no ischemia). "
09/27/1999 - "Kidneys were perfused ex situ with 2 ml of Euro-Collins solution without or with IP-9125 and exposed to 30-min cold (4 degrees C storage time) and 30-min warm (anastomosis time) ischemia. "
09/01/1991 - "ORLT were performed following 1 hr of cold storage in EuroCollins solution without (standard group) and with insertion of a portojugular shunt (shunt group) to minimize intestinal ischemia. "
07/01/1989 - "Heterotopic heart-left lung allotransplantation was performed in 18 dogs after single-flush perfusion of the lungs with Euro-Collins solution (60 ml/kg), cardioplegic arrest, and 6 hours of cold global ischemia. "
09/01/1996 - "Additionally, the least amount of dextran in the lung tissue was found in organs preserved with Euro-Collins solution 160,000 Dalton molecular weight after ischemia and reperfusion. "

07/18/1992 - "To examine whether it affects renal graft survival, a randomised multicentre trial was conducted to compare its effect with that of EuroCollins solution on delayed graft function, renal function, and patient and graft survival in 695 recipients of cadaveric renal transplants. "
01/01/1994 - "Histidine-Tryptophane-Ketoglutarate (HTK) and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions provided a significantly lower incidence of delayed graft function compared to Euro-Collins solution. "
08/01/2003 - "To determine whether Belzer solution (Viaspan, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Brussels, Belgium), which is more expensive than Eurocollins solution, was better at preventing delayed graft function (DGF) and whether it was cost-effective as it could potentially reduce post-transplantation complications. "
07/18/1992 - "The preservation solution is the most important factor influencing development of delayed graft function, and UW solution is superior to EuroCollins solution in reducing occurrence of delayed graft function, improving graft function, extending graft survival."
09/01/2006 - "We compared primary organ nonfunction and delayed graft function rates as well as blood creatinine levels in recipients of grafts processed with SCOT solution, versus University of Wisconsin solution (paired for age with the previous group) and with EuroCollins solution (historic data). "

07/01/1993 - "Eurocollins solution does not therefore cause increased endothelial permeability and hence a permeability type of pulmonary edema. "
01/01/1995 - "Our data show that (1) injection of modified dye-labeled microspheres is a useful method to determine absolute flow in lung parenchyma and airways, (2) determination of tissue water content is a simple and reproducible method to investigate the distribution of hyperosmolar lung preservation solutions, (3) atelectasis leads to a significant maldistribution of lung preservation solutions regardless of the route of delivery (0.7 +/- 0.2 versus 6.5 +/- 1.0 ml/min/gm lung wet weight, p = 0.0001) and a severe increase in water content (80.6% +/- 0.4% versus 79.0% +/- 0.5%, p = 0.024), (4) prostacyclin added to the pulmonary artery flush solution results in only a slight improvement in the distribution, and (5) retrograde delivery of Euro-Collins solution through the left atrium is technically feasible and seems to improve flow to the airways even without the addition of prostacyclin."

11/01/1988 - "Lung preservation for 6 hours was achieved by topical cooling and storage at 4 degrees C after absorption atelectasis in five dogs and in a further five dogs by pulmonary arterial perfusion of Euro-Collins solution; 60 ml/kg at 4 degrees C, modified with MgSO4 6 mmol/L followed by storage at 4 degrees C. "
01/01/1995 - "Our data show that (1) injection of modified dye-labeled microspheres is a useful method to determine absolute flow in lung parenchyma and airways, (2) determination of tissue water content is a simple and reproducible method to investigate the distribution of hyperosmolar lung preservation solutions, (3) atelectasis leads to a significant maldistribution of lung preservation solutions regardless of the route of delivery (0.7 +/- 0.2 versus 6.5 +/- 1.0 ml/min/gm lung wet weight, p = 0.0001) and a severe increase in water content (80.6% +/- 0.4% versus 79.0% +/- 0.5%, p = 0.024), (4) prostacyclin added to the pulmonary artery flush solution results in only a slight improvement in the distribution, and (5) retrograde delivery of Euro-Collins solution through the left atrium is technically feasible and seems to improve flow to the airways even without the addition of prostacyclin."

05/01/1985 - "The HTK solution guarantees satisfactory protection against damaging acidosis over the whole temperature range (5-35 degrees C), but the Euro-Collins solution leads to a stronger and more dangerous acidosis the higher the temperature."
