Effects of donor smoking history on early post-transplant lung function measured by oscillometry

Effects of donor smoking history on early post-transplant lung function measured by oscillometry

IntroductionPrior studies assessing outcomes of lung transplants from cigarette-smoking donors found mixed results. Oscillometry, a non-invasive test of respiratory impedance, detects changes in lung function of smokers prior to diagnosis of COPD, and identifies spirometrically silent episodes of re...
