Abstract:
This report describes a patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and irreversible lung destruction who underwent successful lung transplantation after 138 days of bridging with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. The case exemplifies that lung transplantation may be a possibility after very long-term coronavirus disease 2019 care, even if the patient is initially an unsuitable candidate.

Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
