  • Title: Unilateral auto-PEEP in the recipient of a single lung transplant.
    Author: Popple C, Higgins TL, McCarthy P, Baldyga A, Mehta A.
    Journal: Chest; 1993 Jan; 103(1):297-9. PubMed ID: 8417907.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient who received a right single lung transplant (SLT) for progressive lymphangioleiomyomatosis and required reintubation for postoperative respiratory distress. She developed hemodynamic instability due to mediastinal shift from unilateral auto-PEEP with hyperinflation of the native lung. Placement of a double lumen endotracheal tube (DLET) and institution of differential lung ventilation restored equal lung inflation and hemodynamic stability.
