Abstract Primary lung graft dysfunction could significantly attribute to ischemia-reperfusion lung injury (IRLI) during
transplantation surgery. β2-adrenergic agonists were one of the bronchodilators that had been well-established in the
management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with anti-inflammatory potency. By
applying the model of isolated rat lung, we evaluated the efficacy of short-acting β2-agonist inhalation to ameliorate
ischemia-reperfusion damage. The experiment protocol was 180 min of global ischemia and then reperfusion for
60 min. In the β2-agonist inhalation group, aerosolized albuterol was administrated prior ischemia procedure.
