%X Lung perfusion/ventilation was introduced as a means to minimize cardiopulmonary (CPB)-related pulmonary ischemic injury. Current results in the literature are divergent, and the role of gas exchange during lung perfusion/ventilation during CPB, remains undefined. This report details a) the technique of continuous lung perfusion/ventilation during CPB, b) provides initial observations, and c) discusses gas exchange during CPB.
