There are certain requirements for potential lung donors, due to the needs of the potential recipient. In the case of living donors, this is also in consideration of how the surgery will affect the donor.[2]
- healthy;
- size match; the donated lung or lungs must be large enough to adequately oxygenate the patient, but small enough to fit within the recipient's chest cavity;
- age;
- blood type.
- end-stage lung disease;
- has exhausted other available therapies without success;
- no other chronic medical conditions (e.g. heart, kidney, liver);
- no current infections or recent cancer. There are certain cases where preexisting infection is unavoidable, as with many patients with cystic fibrosis. In such cases, transplant centers, at their own discretion, may accept or reject patients with current infections of B. cepacia or MRSA.
- no HIV or hepatitis;
- no alcohol, smoking, or drug abuse;
- within an acceptable weight range (marked undernourishment or obesity are both associated with increased mortality);
- age (single vs. double tx);
- acceptable psychological profile;
- has social support system;
- financially able to pay for expenses;
- able to comply with post-transplant regimen. A lung transplant is a major operation, and following the transplant, the patient must be willing to adhere to a lifetime regimen of medications as well as continuing medical care.

What do you use to suck in air and pass down into the bronchi?
The Pharynx. You've got the pharynx that runs from your nose down towards to the esophagus. Somewhere towards the end of the pharynx is the larynx, aka the windpipe. This is where the air enters to go into your lungs and the bronchi, it is also where the vocal chords are contained. There is a small covering to prevent food from going down your larynx however it is no always preventable, like when people say 'it went down the wrong pipe'. This pressure difference, and the forcing movement of the lungs creates the actual intake of air into the mouth/nose, through the pharynx, larynx, and into the bronchi.
This is called metaplasia.
The diaphragm controls lung movement. The rib cage also contributes to this.
