Approach and anesthetic management for kidney transplantation in a patient with bilateral lung transplantation: case report

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 72 (6), 2022
Abstract Lung transplantation is the last resort for end-stage lung disease treatment. Due to increased survival, lung recipients present an increased likelihood to be submitted to anesthesia and surgery. This case report describes a 23-year-old female patient with history of lung transplantation for cys...

Delayed chest closure for oversized lung allograft in lung transplantation: a retrospective analysis from turkey

Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the delayed chest closure (DCC) results in patients who underwent lung transplantation. Methods: Sixty patients were evaluated retrospectively. Only bilateral lung transplantations and DCC for oversized lung allograft (OLA) were included in t...

Analysis of different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure during lung retrieval for transplantation: an experimental study

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (7), 2019
Atelectasis and inadequate oxygenation in lung donors is a common problem during the retrieval of these organs. Nevertheless, the use of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is not habitual during procedures of lung retrieval. Twenty-one Sprague-Dawley male consanguineous rats were used in the st...

Effect of vaporized perfluorocarbon on oxidative stress during the cold ischemia phase of lung graft preservation

J. bras. pneumol; 45 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Liquid perfluorocarbon (PFC) instillation has been studied experimentally as an adjuvant therapy in the preservation of lung grafts during cold ischemia. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether vaporized PFC is also protective of lung grafts at different cold ischemia times. We perfo...
