متن کاملPulmonary rehabilitation for patients who undergo lung-volume-reduction surgery or lung transplantation.
Patients preparing for or recovering from lung-volume-reduction surgery (LVRS) or lung transplantation represent a selected group of patients with advanced chronic respiratory disease. Such patients typically have severe ventilatory limitation and disability and are at high risk of preoperative and postoperative complications.

متن کاملEndoscopic volume reduction before or after lung transplantation.
Endobronchial valve therapy in patients with severe emphysema achieves similar clinical benefits to lung volume reduction surgery without the potential morbidity. We report successful endobronchial valve treatments in two patients with severe emphysema. Valves were placed in the first patient 5 months before lung transplantation and in the second patient 10 years after lung transplantation, usi...
متن کاملLung volume reduction surgery.
Background. Surgery to reduce lung volume has recently been reintroduced to alleviate dyspnea and improve exercise tolerance in selected patients with emphysema. A reliable means of identifying patients who are likely to benefit from this surgery is needed. Methods. We measured lung resistance during inspiration, static recoil pressure at total lung capacity, static lung compliance, expiratory ...
