The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) can be a very intimidating and overwhelming place. It is bright, loud and busy. When you wake up in ICU after a Heart/Lung Transplant you will be heavily sedated. This prevents you being overwhelmed and assists pain management.

When you are wheeled into the theatre for your heart/lung transplant you will be in an enormous theatre with multiple teams ready to go.

Packing for your Heart Transplant is exciting and important. Here is a guide about what you need to pack for a heart transplant.

The Call for an Organ Transplant can come during the day or night. It is important that you are ready at any time with your hospital bag with you and you have a carer to drive you to the hospital.
