Great question and answer! There are huge margins built into medical devices wherever possible, and equipment providers have quite a task keeping up with everything that goes along with their maintenance.

Hello My Dear and Precious Friend what a Great Question to ask you. I wonder what kind of servicing do you get done to your Ventilator if it needs Fixing?

[@LifewithaVent]

Hello. That is a great question. I do not know what happens my ventilator goes in for servicing. All I know is it has to be sent in every two years.

Why does chorinc lung rejection damage new donors lungs for?

[@LifewithaVent]

Chronic lung transplant rejection usually has no clear single identifiable etiology, and experts relate it to multiple processes contributing to each other. Contributing conditions could be recurrent subclinical acute rejection episodes, transplant infection, and aspiration with gastroesophageal reflux disease. A panel of experts organized by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) and subsequent studies have categorized various risk factors as probable, potential, or hypothetical.
Probable Risk Factors
Acute rejection
Lymphocytic bronchitis
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis
Medication non-compliance
Potential Risk Factors
CMV infection without pneumonitis
Organizing pneumonia
Bacterial, fungal, or non-CMV viral infection
Older donor age
Large graft ischemic time
Donor antigen-specific reactivity
Hypothetical Risk Factors
Underlying disease
HLA-mismatching
Genotype of recipient
Gastroesophageal reflux with aspiration
