First, deoxygenated blood enters the right side of the heart and is pumped to the lungs to absorb oxygen.
A person cannot live without a healthy liver, because of the contributions of the organ to digestion and to cleansing the blood. But an adult with a failed liver can survive â¦ (under extensive medical care) for a day or two, possibly as long as 3 days, before a transplant becomes necessary. person cannot live without a healthy liver, because of the contributions of the organ to digestion and to cleansing the blood.

The average waiting time for a liver transplant is 145 days for adults and 72 days for children. However, your waiting time may be a lot shorter if you are on a high-priority waiting list.In some circumstances, you may be able to shorten your waiting time if a relative, or possibly a friend, has the same blood type as you and is willing to take part in a living donor liver transplant.ecause of the lack of available livers, it's rarely possible to have a liver transplant as soon as it's needed, so you'll usually be placed on a waiting list. Depending on the clinical need for a liver transplant, you will be placed either on a high-priority or medium-priority waiting list.
