The artificial lung helped the patient successfully survive for 48 hours before receiving an organ transplant.

Recently, the website of the British journal "Nature" reported that a critically ill patient survived for 48 hours after both lungs were removed, thanks to a new artificial lung system, until a successful lung transplant was completed. This successful case provides a new approach for treating other patients who need lung transplants but are unable to undergo surgery immediately due to their critical condition. According to the report, this case occurred in the spring of 2023.
