The main goal of this paper is to analyse the webinars of the regional tourism entities of Porto and Norte (ERTPNP) and Centro de Portugal (ERTCP) that were held after the emergence of the pandemic crisis. The present work led us to infer that these events were well accomplished, namely in addressing success stories, sharing experiences, best practices and national, as well as international, know-how. Technological adaptation was particularly evident in educational institutions, which absorbed new learning opportunities-this was the case of Turismo de Portugal and its twelve schools that introduced significant changes in organisation and training methodology. Tourism and education fields use technologies of the new digital era that enable the development of digital skills. This way, they fill gaps that, in other times, would cause much deeper economic and social crises. The methodology adopted in the present study focused on a case study of the two
Lung transplantation unit from Hospital 12 de Octubre began its work in October 2008. In the last five years, 80 lung transplants have been performed with a hospital mortality rate of 6.5% and a five years survival of 79.7%. As a result of the need of obtaining a greater number of donors, and encouraged by the outpatient non heart beating donors program within our hospital, we considered the possibility of assessing these donors lung grafts. We have followed the methodology designed and set off with good results by other hospitals in the area of Madrid. Nevertheless some changes have been included such as Bithermical multiorgan preservation, where abdominal organs are preserved in normothermia and thoracic ones in hypothermia. However, this methodology has not been scientifically proven. We have reproduced in a laboratory lung function assessment manoeuvres of pulmonary grafts from non heart beating donors. Then we have compared the correlation with the lung function assessment before cardiac arrest, applying the procedure on 40 pigs. Outcomes are promising.
