China News Service, May 29th, according to the European Union quoted the European Union News Agency, the doctors and experts of the San Rafael Hospital in Italy recently performed a two-lobe lung transplant operation on a young patient with severe new crown and achieved success . This is the first time in Italy that new crown patients have been treated by organ transplantation.
On April 1, local time, the Circolo Hospital in Varese, Italy, launched a "robot nurse" to take care of patients with new coronary pneumonia.
According to reports, the patient underwent transplantation was Francisco, an 18-year-old Italian youth. On March 2, Francisco was diagnosed with the new coronavirus. On March 6, his condition began to deteriorate and he was transferred to the intensive care unit of San Rafael Hospital.
According to reports, Francisco does not have any other chronic diseases. He received two months of treatment in the intensive care unit and used a ventilator before the operation. Because the new coronavirus almost completely destroyed his lungs, the medical expert group led by Italian cardiopulmonary and thoracic surgery expert Nosott Mario believes that in this case, only a lung transplant can save the young patient.
Thankfully, the operation was very successful. Mario emphasized that lung transplantation has always been a difficult operation, and it is a very serious challenge to perform surgery on a patient who is infected with a new coronavirus and is in critical condition. At present, the patients undergoing surgery have a clear awareness, are undergoing rehabilitation treatment, and have completely restored their self-breathing function. (Boyuan)
