    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary physiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • The lung performs crucial non-respiratory functions beyond gas exchange.
    • Isolated perfused lung preparations have been refined for studying these functions.
    • These preparations mimic in vivo conditions more closely than subcellular or slice models.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the utility of isolated perfused lung models in understanding lung physiology.
    • To discuss applications in studying the uptake, metabolism, and disposition of substances.
    • To identify under-explored areas for future research using these models.

    Main Methods:

    • Perfusion of isolated intact lungs using whole blood or artificial media.
    • Utilizing pulmonary artery perfusion or artificially ventilated lungs.
    • Employing unilateral, split-lung perfusion for simultaneous paired control studies.

    Main Results:

    • Perfused lung models enhance knowledge of non-respiratory lung functions.
    • They are valuable for investigating exogenous and endogenous substance interactions.
    • Paired control studies are facilitated by simultaneous split-lung perfusion techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • Isolated perfused lungs offer a superior model compared to in vitro preparations by preserving natural barriers.
    • Future research should explore gas/vapor uptake, toxic chemical effects, and hemodynamic alterations using these models.
    • Further modifications can expand the application of isolated perfused lung preparations for comprehensive lung research.
