Abstract:
Objective To summarize the experience during early stage of postoperative monitoring and treatment for the patients follwing lung transplantation in surgical intensive care unit,and to improve the patient's outcome of lung transplantation.Methods A retrospective analysis of 9 cases of orthotopic lung transplantation admitted to surgical intensive care unit (SICU) of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from May 2005 to May 2011 was made.Results There 5 male patients and 4 female patients with the age 21 -67 (46.1 ± 14.1 ) years old in present group,and among them 6 patients survived (survival rate:66.7％ ).The etiological indication of admission were idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (n =4),pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis ( n =3 ),and bronehiectasis ( n =2).Bilateral sequential lung transplantation ( n =5 ),single left lung transplantation ( n =1 ) and single rigbt lung transplantation ( n =3) were performed.The postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation,stay duration in SICU and in hospital were 2 -32 d,3 -42 d,and 3 -60 d respeetively.Postoperative complication taking place after surgery were acute rejection in 2 cases and pneumonia 4 cases (3 cases were treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenator).Postoperative in hospital death was 3 cases of 9 resulting from severe intection (n =2) and cireulation failure ( n =1 ).Conclusion Well-planned postoperative management stroategy in SICU plays an important role in outcome control after lung transplantation,including monitor and respiratory and cardiacvascular management,reasonable implementation of vasoactive medications and diuretics,protective mechanical ventilation strategy,reducing the time of ventilation.
