Official Title: Identifying the Optimal Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Level to Ventilate Patients After Bilateral Lung Transplantation
Brief Summary:
Lung Transplantation (LuTX) is the curative treatment for selected patients with end-stage lung disease.Primary Graft Dysfunction (PGD), a specific form of respiratory failure occurring within the first 72 hours after graft reperfusion, represents the most common complication after LuTX.Actual recommendation regarding management of mechanical ventilation of the lung graft immediately after LuTX are based only on opinion experts and not on clinical trials.Optimization of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure might…
