Most people are familiar with the general concept of lung transplantation. Yet the actual number of patients who receive a transplant is limited, and the number of healthcare workers dedicated to this area remains restricted to staff at selected, highly specialised centres. This Monograph provides an excellent tool for ensuring the knowledge gap between the “basic” and “highly specialised” healthcare worker remains as small as possible. Aimed at healthcare professionals across the respiratory field, the book covers: medical and surgical treatment of advance lung disease prior to transplantation; the identification, optimisation and availability of donor organs; and both early and long-term post-lung transplant management. Readers will find it to be a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of recent progress in the field and current best practices.
