Employment after lung transplantation--a single-center cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND 359 lung transplantations were performed in Germany in 2013. The main goals of lung transplantation are to prolong survival and improve the quality of life. Both of these goals can be reflected in a return to employment. We report the first study of employment after lung transplantation in Germany. METHODS We evaluated the findings of a single-center, questionnaire-based cross-sect...
متن کاملHigh central venous pressure is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and increased mortality after lung transplantation.
BACKGROUND Poor oxygenation might occur in transplanted lungs as a result of reperfusion injury and lack of lymphatic drainage. Low central venous and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures are advocated to reduce pulmonary edema and maximize oxygenation but might adversely affect cardiac index, circulation, and renal function. METHODS Histories, intensive care unit charts, and donor data on 118...
متن کاملBilateral Scapulohumeral Ankylosis after Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation
This case demonstrates a rarely reported bilateral scapulohumeral bony ankylosis. A young woman developed extensive heterotopic ossifications (HOs) in both shoulder joints after being mechanically ventilated for several months at the intensive care unit in a comatose status. She presented with a severe movement restriction of both shoulder joints. Surgical resection of the bony bridges was perf...
متن کاملInfections After Liver Transplantation: A Retrospective, Single-center Study.
OBJECTIVE To access the incidence of infectious problems after liver transplantation (LT). DESIGN A retrospective, single-center study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients undergoing LT from January 2008 to December 2011 were considered. Exclusion criterion was death occurring in the first 48 hours after LT. We determined the site of infection and the bacterial isolates and collected and compare...
متن کاملThe effect of lung-size mismatch on mechanical ventilation tidal volumes after bilateral lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVES Mechanical ventilation tidal volumes are usually set according to an estimate of patient size in millilitres (ml) per kilogram (kg) body weight. We describe the relationship between donor-recipient lung-size mismatch and postoperative mechanical ventilation tidal volumes according to recipient- and donor-predicted body weights in a cohort of bilateral lung transplant patients. METH...
