To obtain optimal preservation of lungs for histology, morphometry and radiology a 2 chamber system of lung fixation with hot formaldehyde vapor was introduced. Compared with other procedures, this system offered small dead space and ensured quick and thorough fixation by imitating inspiration and expiration. Volume- and pressure-regulated breathing enables fixation in any desired stage of the respiration cycle. This procedure can be used routinely in the autopsy room. The only serious drawback seems to be air pollution, which occurs if the chambers are not absolutely insulated.
