I can tell you from professional experience that regardless of whether the surgery is performed at UW or VM that he will spend atleast the first 2 weeks in a negative pressure ICU room with attached anteroom with minimal visitation to guard against infection and monitor for rejection. Typically discharge is 3-6 weeks post surgery for this stuff.

No KOA time in his near future.

I've transported several of these patients from both facilities and rather then wear PPE to protect others from them the spacesuit is worn to protect them from others.

I work on a critical care transport ambulance in Seattle so I'm not guessing.


Thank you.

I had a suspicion that a KOA with "facilities" was not going to facilitate post-op recovery.

I'd hazard a guess that a doc specializing in transplants might have covered this by now, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
