A new study suggests that normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) can increase the number of patients receiving lung transplants. NRP is a technique that involves keeping donor lungs at body temperature and perfusing them with a solution to maintain their function. The study found that using NRP resulted in a higher number of viable lungs for transplantation, as well as improved outcomes for transplant recipients.
