Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is reat interest in the development of a non-invasive ventilatory support program in patients who are candidates for a lung transplant. This pre-transplant ventilatory approach entails great knowledge of the non-invasive ventilatory support options (non-invasive, nasal high-flow oxygen, negative non-invasive ventilation); these options are essential for a safe bridge to lung transplant. In this Special Issue, we will cover the role of noninvasive ventilatory approaches, methodology aspects, health care programs in candidate for lung transplants to avoiding intubation, improving lung function, and all aspects in the post-transplant period, facilitating extubation, protocols for preventing complications, supporting physiotherapy and recommendation for managing post-reimplantation syndrome.
