A non-thoracic operation for a patient with single lung transplantation.

The number of lung transplants performed annually is increasing. It is becoming more likely that these patients will present post transplantation to anesthesiologists who have little experience in dealing with the physiological, pharmacological, medical and surgical problems that these patients present. This article discusses the management of a patient presenting for surgery after lung transplantation.

Anaesthesia for patients after lung transplantation.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to review the literature on post lung transplant patients presenting for surgery and anaesthesia and to provide insight into their perioperative management. SOURCE: Articles and books were identified via a Medline search and through a review of the bibliographies of these sources. PRINCIPLE FINDINGS: Single and double lung transplantation is becoming more common and the period of survival is increasing. As a result, more of these patients are presenting for surgery and anaesthesia. Also, it is increasingly likely that these patients may present, either for emergency or elective surgery, to anaesthetists with limited experience in this field. These patients have considerable medical, physiological and pharmacological problems which need to be understood. CONCLUSION: Anaesthesia, local, regional, or general, can be safely delivered to these patients provided that the physiology and pathophysiology of the transplanted lung, the pharmacology of the immunosuppressive agents, and the underlying surgical condition are understood.
