Preparing Donor Lungs For Machine Perfusion

Delaware rates for HCPCS 0494T

Donor lungs that would not normally be usable are prepared for assessment on a perfusion machine. The team prepares the lungs and connects them to the circuit that will pump warm fluid through them outside the body, and later disconnects them and readies them for transplant if they prove suitable. Only the preparation and connection work is covered here.
