Description
Ryo Kosaka and nine co-authors review, in work republished in 2026, new ways to judge donor lungs kept alive outside the body. Pumps can run air and fluid through such lungs, which lets teams check weak donor organs. The old checks, though, give a rough and late view of how well a lung works.
Three new tools are set out. Heat maps of the lung face, taken in the first minutes, split good lungs from poor ones. Light maps of blood oxygen matched lab reads well. Weight tracked live rose fast in poor lungs and stayed flat in good ones. The review first ran in a Japanese journal in 2024, and the team presents the tools as fast, hands-off checks.
