Abstract
Intensive care after lung, and heart-lung transplantation may have simple post operative course specially after preventive procedures of reperfusion injury, nosocomial infections during mechanical ventilation and immunosuppression risks. Nevertheless a severe mediastinal shift may occurred after single lung transplantation in emphysema. Rapid changes in ventilation/perfusion ratio during lung infection or rejection specially in pulmonary hypertension are responsible of dramatic respiratory failure. Knowledge of multiorgan dysfunction and multidisciplinary experience encourage to future development.
