The First 7 Days After Lung Transplant

The First 7 Days After Lung Transplant

The first week after lung transplantation is fast-moving, complex, and critical. The First 7 Days After Lung Transplant is a practical, day-by-day clinical guide designed to help acute care clinicians understand what to assess, anticipate, and prioritize from POD 0 through POD 7.

This bedside-focused resource brings the major elements of early post-transplant care together in one organized guide, including graft and respiratory function, oxygenation and ventilation, immunosuppression, rejection surveillance, infection prevention, hemodynamics and fluid management, renal function, nutrition and GI motility, feeding strategies, mobilization, rehabilitation, and transition planning.

Rather than simply listing tasks, the guide helps clinicians understand what should be happening each day, what trends matter, what may signal a developing problem, and what comes next.

Designed for APPs, nurses, fellows, and other acute care clinicians caring for lung transplant recipients or learning the complexities of transplant medicine.
