Introduction to Lung Transplant

A lung transplant is a surgery where a damaged lung is replaced with a healthy donor lung to restore normal breathing. It is performed when severe lung disease makes it difficult for the patient to get enough oxygen. The surgery aims to improve long-term breathing ability and overall quality of life.

How Lung Transplant Surgery Is Performed

During a lung transplant, the surgical team opens the chest and removes the damaged lung with the help of thoracic instruments and controlled ventilation systems. The donor lung is positioned carefully, and surgeons connect the airway, blood vessels, and tissues with precision tools. Throughout the procedure, Nivda chest drapes, reinforced surgical gowns, and sterile mayo covers create a clean environment that prevents contamination. These disposables also help organize instruments, protect equipment, and maintain proper workflow during long thoracic surgeries. The surgical team monitors oxygen supply, blood circulation, and lung expansion while keeping the sterile field intact with Nivda products. After securing the new lung, the chest is closed and the patient is shifted to monitored recovery.
