A member asked:
Could they have lungs at the hospital already they keep for matches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely.: It sounds as if you are asking if a hospital may have "already matched" lungs available for a lung transplant. Organs used for transplantation are generally given to recipients within a very short time of the harvest from the donor. In general, health care facilities do not have stock piles of organs to distribute.
