Abstract
A strategy of peri-operative lung donor evaluation and intervention suggests the number of truly unusable donor lungs is only a small fraction of the overall donor pool. In Australia, this strategy makes a significant difference in lung retrieval and transplantation rates, despite an intrinsically low (10 PMP) national donor rate.
