across the respiratory field, the book covers: medical and surgical treatment
of advance lung disease prior to transplantation; the identification,
optimisation and availability of donor organs; and both early and long-term
post-lung transplant management.
Most people are familiar with the
general concept of lung transplantation. Yet the actual number of patients who receive
a transplant is limited, and the number of healthcare workers dedicated to this
area remains restricted to staff at selected, highly specialised centres.
This
Monograph provides an excellent tool for ensuring the knowledge gap between
the "basic" and "highly specialised" healthcare worker remains as small as
possible. Aimed at healthcare professionals across the respiratory field, the
book covers: medical and surgical treatment of advance lung disease prior to
transplantation; the identification, optimisation and availability of donor
organs; and both early and long-term post-lung transplant management. Readers will find it to be a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of
recent progress in the field and current best practices.
