NBC晚间新闻 美国新冠患者肺移植成功(在线收听) |
Mayra Ramirez still gets exhausted walking. Before she got sick the 28 year old was doing her paralegal job from home to be safe. But in April she caught Coronavirus. When she started fainting she went to the ER and was told to call her family in North Carolina right away. I only had a couple minutes to contact them to let them know what was going on before i was intubated. The virus had destroyed her lungs. on the left, a healthy lung. On the right, Mayra's. Her only hope, new lungs. Reconstruction. After a 10 hour surgery at Northwestern Medical, she became the first COVID patient to get a double lung transplant. This operation will be helpful to patients who are relatively young, who have limited comorbid conditions or pre-existing conditions and who remain stuck on the ventilator despite clearing the virus. Doctors performed the same operation last month on 62 year old Brian Coons, a grandfather owner of an auto repair shop. Coons thought COVID was a hoax and never wore a mask. I was perfectly healthy this thing took me down hard. He and wife Nancy want their story to be a lesson. Stay safe. Listen, this disease is not a joke. Not a hoax. When Mayra first awoke in June, she didn't even know she'd had a transplant. I looked at myself, i couldn't recognize my body. It wasn't until weeks later that i had the ability to, you know, think to myself. There's a family out there that's grieving their loved one. I have that person's lungs and how lucky i was to have received it. I just took a lot of things for granted i'm just gonna try and grab everything i can now. Two patients eternally grateful to be part of a new possibility in COVID care. 梅拉·拉米雷斯走起路来还是会疲惫不堪。在生病之前,28岁的梅拉为了确保安全,一直在家做她的律师助理工作。但今年4月,梅拉感染了冠状病毒。当她开始晕倒时,她去了急诊室,并被告知立即打电话给北卡罗来纳州的家人。我只有几分钟的时间联系他们,让他们知道在我插管前发生了什么。病毒摧毁了她的肺,左边是健康的肺。右边是梅拉的肺。她唯一的希望就是肺移植。重建。在西北纪念医院接受了10个小时的手术后,梅拉成为了第一个接受双肺移植的新冠肺炎患者。这个手术对相对年轻的病人,有有限的共存疾病或先前存在的疾病的病人,以及尽管已经清除了病毒,但仍然依靠呼吸机呼吸的病人很有帮助。上个月,医生们给62岁的布赖恩·库恩斯做了同样的手术。他是一家汽车修理店的老爷爷。库恩斯之前认为新冠病毒是个骗局,他从不戴口罩。我本来很健康,但这事让我很虚弱。他和妻子南希希望他们的故事成为一个教训。保持安全。听着,这个病可不是笑话,不是骗局。今年6月,当梅拉第一次醒来时,她甚至不知道自己接受了移植手术。我看着自己,我认不出自己的身体了。直到几周后,我才有了自己思考的能力。有一个正在哀悼他们所爱之人的家庭。我拥有了那个人的肺,我是多么幸运,能接受肺移植。我以前只是把很多事情都当成理所当然,现在我要试着把握所有我能把握的东西。两个病人永远感激能成为新冠肺炎治疗新可能性的一部分。 |
