Lung Perfusion Lab in Toronto

Take a peek at the video above and watch the future of lung care in action. Researchers at Toronto General Hospital are perfecting the process of lung perfusion, which keeps lungs healthy outside of a body. While I was there, I was able to feel a set of pig lungs breathing in my hands. I also had a chance to speak with Andy Dykstra, the first person to receive a set of transplanted perfused human lungs.
