Only only fox tonight, across the nation there are nearly 1500 people waiting for a lungsaving Lung Transplant right now. St. Josephs hospital in phoenix is one of the few hospitals selected to test a new piece of equipment. A surgery that one day could save your life or the life of someone you love. Foxs Mark Martinez with the story. Everything changes. I was very active guy. Doing the yard work, you know, being the husband and suddenly i basically could sit and she took care of me and that was our li life. Jason describes how his live changed dramatically in march 2014 when he found out he had scar tissue growing in both lungs. A fatal disease known as pulmonary fibrosis. My doctor said to me im surprised you can breathe. Jason a professor, author and public speaker says his health was going downhill fast. Before i knew it, i was sitting around unable to pick up a pencil if i drop it because i just didnt have the oxygen to do so. Reporter only option a double Lung Transplant put on the transplant list at st. Josephs hospital in phoenix in march 2015 he found out he was getting a new zest lungs but this was no ordinary transplant. Jason was to be part of a Clinical Trial using device call the organ care system also known as lung in box. Boy, ill tell uhuh take the lungs in the box element out of my equation and i could well be dead. Dr. Michael smith the Lung Transplant surgical director at st. Josephs one of only eight hospitals across the country chosen to take part in the lung in a box trial. We really had no problem getting our patients to consent to this technology, because to them, it just made sense. Reporter device is made by trance medics and it works by keeping the lungs essentially alive while theyre transported from the donor to the recipient. Oxygen and blood flowing through them at body them cher so they can breathe outside the body. Its almost like the lungs are are still in the donor or the recipient. Up until now donor organs have been packed on ice during the transplant process giving doctors about five to 10 hours max to get the organ to the recipient. A race against the clock. In the old system you put these lungs that you knew were good in the donor on ice, and its like a black box because theyre sitting there on ice for few hours and when you take them out you just hope that they work well. But youre not really sure. Whereas this device you absolutely are certain that theyre working all the way up until the time of implantation. Reporter device allows the transplant team to transport the organs farther distances by ground or air because time is no longer as critical in the process. This will allow to us a really sick recipient who may be waiting in the hospital for lungs and dying to go as far as the east coast or hawaii to get new lungs for them. Jasons wife took this photo of him a few months after the transplant as he through away the oxygen tubes that had been his life long line before the operation. He has in doubt the technology and the transplant team at st. Josephs literally saved his life. I was down for the count. My brothers actually showed up to say goodbye to me in phoenix and while they were there, i got the call the lungs in box were on their way. Reporter he was one of 228 patients at st. Joes to get their new lungs with the device during the Clinical Trial. Even though it was success it is still waiting to be approved by the fda. I cant imagine why they wouldnt do it. Its proven in europe. Its certainly proven every time they use it in the united stat states. It does it does nothing except improve. Process. So for now in the device gets fda clearance its back to the old methods of packing organs on ice. Were all keeping our fingers crossed that they see the value in this technology that we do. So im hoping its soon. Jason says he is too. Oh, yeah it saved my life. Theyre no question about it. Mark martinez fox news.
