Lung transplantation
unit from Hospital 12 de Octubre began its work in October 2008. In the last
five years, 80 lung transplants have been performed with a
hospital mortality rate of 6.5% and a five years survival of 79.7%.
As a result of
the need of obtaining a greater number of donors, and encouraged by the
outpatient non heart beating donors program within our hospital, we considered
the possibility of assessing these donors lung grafts.
We have followed
the methodology designed and set off with good results by other hospitals in
the area of Madrid.
