Extracorporeal lung performance and functional recovery. a Pressure-volume (PV) loops: injured lungs demonstrating initial derangement in PV loops and recovery towards normal hysteresis observed in control lungs. b Dynamic compliance (Cdyn) over 36 h of cross-circulation. c PaO2/FiO2 over 36 h of cross-circulation. Responses in ΔpO2 and ΔpCO2 to 10 min lung performance challenges throughout 36 h of cross-circulation in d, e injured and f, g control lungs. h Schematic depicts arterial and single lung venous blood sample collection and performance challenge protocol. All graphs represent data from n= 8 lungs. All values represent mean ± standard deviation
