Pulmonary Reimplantation Response

Pulmonary reimplantation response in single-lung transplantation.

We studied the characteristics of the pulmonary reimplantation response (PRR) in single-lung transplantation (SLT), and detailed the occurrence, evolution, prognosis and risk factors of this complication. Forty single-lung transplant recipients were studied. Twenty four patients developed hypoxaemia and allograft infiltrates consistent with the PRR. In 40% of the cases hypoxaemia was severe, pr...

Acute pulmonary edema after lung transplantation: the pulmonary reimplantation response.

BACKGROUND Although the development of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema or pulmonary reimplantation response (PRR) after lung transplantation has been well described, the incidence has not been established and the relationship of PRR to clinical risk factors has not been analyzed. STUDY OBJECTIVES (1) To describe the incidence of PRR in lung transplant recipients, (2) to identify the predictors...

Glutathione decreases the pulmonary reimplantation response in canine lung autotransplants.

The pulmonary reimplantation response (PRR) is a form of membrane permeability pulmonary edema occurring in lung transplants. The severity of the PRR reflects the quality and duration of lung graft preservation. Free radicals formed during ischemia with reperfusion in the autotransplanted dog lung may play a role in producing PRR. We hypothesized that the addition of reduced glutathione (GSH) t...

Pulmonary mechanics and surfactant measurement in canine lungs following reimplantation.

Complications Requiring Cochlear Reimplantation

Introduction: Otalgia is one of the complaints which may occur at any age. The etiology of the pain may be in the ear, structures around the ear or other head and neck structures. This is caused by the complex nervous connections in the head and neck areas, the ear, the pharynx and the nose. Since understanding the etiologies of referred otalgia can help in the assessment and treatment of the ...
