Filter by:Intraoperative hemodynamic management is vital in the success of lung transplantation. Significant intraoperative hemodynamic compromise and hypoxic episodes may contribute to an increase in severe postoperative complications related to hypoperfusion, including cerebrovascular accidents, acute kidney injury, and mesenteric ischemia. In certain lung transplant recipients, intraoperative cardiopulmonary support is mandatory because certain factors would make "off-pump" transplants unsafe. These include severe pulmonary hypertension or severe ventricular dysfunction. In such patients, routine intraoperative support should be employed. However, it is possible to conduct the lung transplant without cardiopulmonary support in the remainder of patients who do not have severe pulmonary hypertension or right heart dysfunction. In such patients, the lung transplant may be started without cardiopulmonary support. However, cardiopulmonary support may be initiated "on-demand" if there is development or impending hemodynamic embarrassment or hypoxia. Conversely, the opposite approach would be to routinely conduct all lung transplant operations using cardiopulmonary support, which may also lead to specific ECMO-related complications. The investigators question whether on demand intraoperative ECMO in patients with significant risk factors will produce severe postoperative complications in a rate similar to routine ECMO.
The purpose of this prospective pilot study is to determine if live music therapy reduces patients' perception of pain and anxiety, reduces benzodiazepine use and pain medication use, length of stay in the ICU, and length of stay in hospital, and improves sleep in post-lung transplant patients. The purpose and objectives of the study are the following: - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will reduce participant's perceived anxiety in post-lung transplant patients. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will reduce participant's perceived pain in post-lung transplant patients. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's use of benzodiazepine medication for anxiety. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention three times in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's use of pain medication. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's total time of intubation, length of stay in ICU, and length of stay in the hospital. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will improve the quality and length of sleep in post-lung transplant patients.
The objective of the trial is to assess efficacy and safety of add-on aerosolized liposomal cyclosporine A (L-CsA) to Standard of Care (SoC) therapy as compared to SoC therapy alone in the treatment of Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in single lung transplant recipients.
The objective of the trial is to assess efficacy and safety of add-on aerosolized liposomal cyclosporine A (L-CsA) to Standard of Care (SoC) therapy as compared to SoC therapy alone in the treatment of Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in double lung transplant recipients.
