•Contains chapters written by international experts with extensive experience in the field of lung transplantation
•Covers advances in donor and recipient management as well as the current management strategies and outcomes of lung transplantation
•Addresses specific situations of pulmonary disease status that commonly necessitate lung transplantation and highlight issues related to these conditions
•Discusses the future direction of therapies for advanced lung disease that are likely to influence lung transplant practice

Summary
Lung Transplantation: Principles and Practice covers the current practice in donor and recipient management as well as current treatment strategies and outcomes. With 39 chapters from international experts in the field, the book is divided into four broad sections: General Topics, Donor Management, Recipient Management and Outcome, and the Future of Lung Transplantation.
The book discusses significant advances achieved in the past decade in areas such as donor allocation, organ preservation and management, recipient selection, management and support, surgical and critical care techniques, immune suppression, and infection prophylaxis. Specific instances of pulmonary disease that commonly necessitate lung transplantation are also covered.
Generously illustrated in full color, this valuable resource is relevant to both specialists and other providers who may refer or care for patients before and after transplantation.
