Active rehabilitation and physical therapy during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation while awaiting lung transplantation: a practical approach.
OBJECTIVE Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to lung transplantation has traditionally been associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. A major contributor to these complications may be weakness and overall deconditioning secondary to pretransplant critical illness and immobility. In an attempt to address this issue, we developed a collaborative program to allow for active...

In addition, EVLP can provide a platform for the application of various preventive measures to decrease the incidence of post-transplant complications. While the Toronto team targets the attenuation of th...
متن کاملCytolytic therapy for the bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome complicating lung transplantation.
UNLABELLED The bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the major cause of late morbidity and mortality after lung transplant (LTx). Previous studies suggest cytolytic therapy may be effective for the BOS but this therapy has not been proved effective or safe. METHOD A retrospective study of a predetermined treatment regimen to determine if the rate of fall in FEV1 can be reduced by cortico...
متن کاملPre-emptive therapy with azoles in lung transplant patients. Geneva Lung Transplantation Group.
Pulmonary fungal infection is diagnosed in up to 15-25% of lung transplant recipients and frequently bears a fatal outcome. This prospective uncontrolled study addresses the efficacy and safety of pre-emptive azole therapy against fungal infection in these patients. Fluconazole or itraconazole have been systematically used according to reported fungus sensitivity after the discovery of fungi in...
