<10% <15 Low-acceptability donor lungs
  • - <10% acceptance rate

  • - Low likelihood of acceptance, however reversible lung pathology must be ruled out.

10–60% 15–25 Moderate-acceptability donor lungs
  • - 10–60% acceptance rate

  • - Low-to-moderate likelihood of acceptance but further assessment of donor and recipient characteristics needed.

  • - Additional optimization may be warranted. Lung protective management algorithms should be strongly considered.

>60% >25 High-acceptability donor lungs
  • - >60% acceptance rate

  • - High likelihood of acceptance. Attention to maintaining adequate pulmonary protection
