COAGULOPATHY
The results of this study indicate that targeted coagulopathy management and 5% albumin solution solely used as volume replacement therapy during LuTx surgery may improve early lung allograft function, provide better circulatory stability during the early post-operative period, and have potential to decrease the incidence of PGD without negative effect on 1-year survival. However, further investigation is highly needed to provide deeper insight into mechanisms of potential beneficial effect of perioperative use of 5% albumin solely as volume replacement therapy during LuTx on PGD incidence, CLAD development, and long-term outcomes.
