Continued Growth Education and training Local and import cases Expansion into second protocol: INSPIREEXPAND Age: > 18 and < 65 years Bilateral lung Transplant PaO2 /FiO2 > 300 mmHg Randomizes to cold storage or OCS at acceptance Ages: 18 to 75 years Bilateral lung transplant One of the following: PaO2/FiO2 < 300 mmHg Ischemia time > 6 hours DCD Donor Age > 55 years old
Outcomes “This expands the outreach of where we can go, it is exciting to take more runs and be able to evaluate suitability. Our experience is that we are transplanting people quicker before they become debilitated and all of our recipients are doing so well” Dr. (Dorothy) Gail Frankle RN, DHA, CPTC Senior Director, Solid Organ Transplant Services UMMC-Solid Organ Transplantation “The OCS essentially gave us a chance to see how the lungs would do in the standard physiologic warm environment. Interesting since we would otherwise not know without OCS. ” Gabriel Loor, MDOCS Assistant Professor Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery University of Minnesota Heart Care
