Transplant

After discharge from the hospital, patients are seen on a regular basis by one of the transplant pulmonologist and coordinators in the transplant clinic. The frequency of visits is determined by the length of time post-transplant and the patient's overall clinical status. Aside from the daily medication schedule, the patient is expected to perform and document microspirometry readings on a daily basis. This is used to screen for subclinical pulmonary events. In addition, bronchoscopy is performed every three months for the first year. Patients also are expected to participate on an ongoing basis in pulmonary rehabilitation and quality of life surveys.

 

We aim to provide patients and their families with a comprehensive understanding of life post-transplantation, and to answer any questions that may arise.
