Anesthesia For Patients Receiving Single-Lung Transplantation in Non-Pulmonary Surgical Intervention: A Case Report
Abstract
With improvements in the survival rate following lung transplantation, lung transplant recipients occasionally
undergo subsequent non-pulmonary surgical interventions that are not directly related to their pulmonary disease. Both
anesthesia and surgical procedures can affect the transplanted lungs and other organs in such patients. Moreover, these patients may show pulmonary function impairment; depending on the type of surgery and anatomical site. An adequate understanding of the physiology of the transplanted lung, careful preoperative evaluation and preparation, appropriate utilization of airway equipment, and proper management of intraoperative fluids and ventilation are crucial for superior perioperative outcomes.
