Patients with end-stage lung disease who are candidates for lung transplantation may acutely decompensate before a donor organ becomes available. In this scenario, extracorporeal life support (ECLS) may be considered as a bridge to transplant or as a bridge to decision. In the current chapter, we review the indications, techniques, and outcomes for bridging to lung transplantation with ECLS.
患有终末期肺病且适合肺移植的患者,在供体器官可用之前可能会急性失代偿。在这种情况下,体外生命支持(ECLS)可被视为移植桥梁或决策桥梁。在本章中,我们回顾了使用ECLS过渡到肺移植的适应症、技术和结果。
