Acute and critical care
Right heart decompensation is a fatal complication in patients with respiratory failure, particularly in those transitioned to lung transplantation using veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO). In these patients, veno-arterial (V-A ECMO) or veno-arterialvenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-AV ECMO) is used to support bo...

Molecular hydrogen can reduce the oxidative stress of ischemia-reperfusion injury in various organs for transplantation and potentially improve survival rates in recipients. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of a hydrogen-rich preservation solution against ischemia-reperfusion injury after cold ischemia in rat lung transplantation...

Background Lung transplantation is a life-saving treatment for patients with end stage lung disease. There may be a higher incidence of lung cancer in lung transplant recipients, and these cancers tend to be diagnosed at a more advanced stage. There is very little data on the safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for les...

Although the literature demonstrates that cardiac autonomic control (CAC) might be impaired in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, the interplay between CAC and disease severity in end-stage lung disease has not been studied yet. We investigated the effects of end-stage lung disease on CAC through the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) ...

Kartagener syndrome (KS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by situs inversus, paranasal sinusitis and bronchiectasis. We report the successful use of double lung transplant (DLTx) to treat end-stage KS. A 49-year-old Han woman was admitted to Renmin Hospital (Wuhan University, China) in September 2017 with a ≥15 year history of chron...

Background The low acceptance rates in lung transplantation underline the importance to use every potential transplantable organ. With the use of normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) there is a potential to use more donor lungs for transplantation. Aim of this study was to evaluate if EVLP has an effect on cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection afte...

Background: Improved donor management, including respiratory physiotherapy, may optimize donor suitability and increase successful lung procurement. This review aimed to determine the efficacy of lung management protocols on the incidence of successful lung procurement and transplantation. Methods: Searches were completed in MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE...
