This quarter’s editorial is taking a step off the beaten path. Last month the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation published, what I believe to be, a groundbreaking international multidisciplinary document for perioperative care of lung transplant recipients. This document acknowledges that anesthetic and intensive care management impacts long term outcomes in lung transplant recipients. It offers a combination of published data and expert opinion for guidance and is the first major consensus document to specifically address anesthetic care for lung transplantation.

Key themes include the inclusion of anesthesiologists and intensivists in the selection of lung transplant recipients, use of echocardiography intraoperatively, indications for intraoperative rescue mechanical support, timing of ECMO wean, and strategies for the prevention of primary graft dysfunction. This is a strong document. I hope you give it a read.
