This book originates from Toronto General Hospital (TGH), one of the largest and most experienced lung transplant center in the world, which to date has completed over 3000 lung transplant procedures, and currently averages 200 procedures per year.
The book captures the full perioperative scope of lung transplantation, including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management. It is written in a “Frequently Asked Question” (FAQ) style and addresses issues and questions encountered during lung transplantation procedures, providing rationale from both clinical experience and published literature wherever possible.
Anesthesia for Lung Transplant fills the need for a practical guide offering anesthesiologists, surgeons, respirologists and intensivists new to the field with actionable advice.
