On November 22, Weifang People's Hospital successfully carried out the first double lung transplant. The patient, Lao Wang, ushered in the dawn of life. After 16 days of hospitalization**, on December 8, Lao Wang was successfully discharged from the hospital.

16 days seems like a short time, but it is also a long time. The success of the transplant is only the first step in the long march, and the postoperative management is a long and arduous process. Patients after lung transplantation are often critically ill and complex, and if the postoperative conditions do not go well, the time to discharge from the hospital is far away. In 16 days, Lao Wang needs to get through the difficulties such as rejection and **, which condenses the hard work and sweat of too many people.

On the day of discharge, Lao Wang and his family couldn't hold back their excitement and constantly expressed their gratitude to the medical staff for their professionalism and carefulness. Wang Hongbo, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and president of Weifang People's Hospital, and Cai Yuehong, vice president, also came to the ward to visit Lao Wang and congratulate him on his successful discharge.

Lung transplantation is a systematic project, which requires not only the highly skilled surgeon, the skilled surgical assistant, the vigorous cooperation of multiple disciplines during the operation, but also the early coordination of the organ procurement tissue department, and the post-management of the ICU, respiratory, nutrition, imaging and other teams. In the next step, Lao Wang will be discharged from the hospital for follow-up training. I hope that Lao Wang can completely ** as soon as possible and start a new journey, come on!

Lung transplantation is mainly used in the end-stage of chronic lung disease, with more than 20 surgical indications, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary cystic fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, bronchiolitis obliterans, connective tissue disease, etc.
