  • Title: [Intensive care in lung and heart-lung transplantation].
    Author: Bastien O, Paulus S, Bertocchi M.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 1996 Nov; 13(5 Suppl):S23-9. PubMed ID: 9011908.
    Abstract:
    Intensive care after lung, and heart-lung transplantation may have simple post operative course specially after preventive procedures of reperfusion injury, nosocomial infections during mechanical ventilation and immunosuppression risks. Nevertheless a severe mediastinal shift may occurred after single lung transplantation in emphysema. Rapid changes in ventilation/perfusion ratio during lung infection or rejection specially in pulmonary hypertension are responsible of dramatic respiratory failure. Knowledge of multiorgan dysfunction and multidisciplinary experience encourage to future development.
