In Situ Flushing of Donor Kidneys: Its Technique and Rationale

Abstract
In situ flushing of kidneys through an isolated segment of aorta was done on mongrel dogs. The 500 cc cold perfusate at 3 to 4C (delivered in 6 minutes) effectively cooled the kidneys to about 15C. This simplified technique of in situ flushing, its usefulness and rationale are discussed.
