Summary
This study tested whether keeping donor lungs at 10°C (instead of the usual ice-cold temperature) allows lung transplants to be scheduled during daytime hours instead of overnight. Forty-five people receiving their first lung transplant took part. The main goal was to see if this method kept the lungs working well after transplant, with a low risk of severe lung injury.
