Acute native lung hyperinflation is not associated with poor outcomes after single lung transplant for emphysema.
J Heart Lung Transplant. 1999; (11): 1080-7
Single-lung transplantation for emphysema may be complicated by acute native lung hyperinflation (ANLH) with hemodynamic and ventilatory compromise. Some groups advocate the routine use of independent lung ventilation, double-lung transplant, or right-lung transplant with or without contralateral lung volume reduction surgery in high-risk patients. The goal of this study was to determine the incidence of ANLH and identify its potential predictors.
