First lung transplant in Wuhan for a critical and elderly COVID‐19 patient

Abstract Introduction We report the case of a 65‐year‐old Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) patient with pneumonia and subsequent end‐stage pulmonary failure who required 63 days of mechanical ventilation (MV) and 62 days of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods On Day 45, a comprehe...

Methods On Day 45, a comprehensive interdisciplinary discussion on the best course of treatment resulted in the general consensus that his lungs would not recover.
