Excited to share our summary on pulmonary rehabilitation, an underutilized and critically important treatment that can help our patients with chronic respiratory disease. Thanks to my coauthors Drs. Davis and @RestivoAnderson!
This JAMA Clinical Guidelines Synopsis summarizes the American Thoracic Society’s 2023 guidelines on pulmonary rehabilitation for adults with chronic respiratory disease.

Well-deserved recognition of a rare, true “triple threat” - congratulations @jmvyasmdphd !
Almost F3s!! 🫁

🔎Conventional DBD v cDCD in🇨🇭: DBD correlated w/⬆️ ⏰ vent, ⬆️90d mortality. cDCD assoc w/⬆️LOS. BUT late outcomes w/o significant diff b/t groups (marginally superior 1yr mortality but early CLAD in cDCD cohort)
- Can we safely follow suit?
- Can this ⬆️access to pediatric pts?

🔎We use mechanical insufflation/exsufflation routinely for critically ill patients. One group performed blinded RCT of MIE on organ donors, which ⬆️ % of eligible lung donors!
- Can we use this to ⬆️ donor pool?
- What’s stopping us from universal implementation?

🔎Rates of intraop 🫁 turndown after initial acceptance have ⬆️ to up to 10% at some institutions in the last 20 yrs
- Can we improve communication b/t OPO & txp centers prior to transport/travel?
- What are the reasons behind 🫁decline?
- How will this change in the CAS era?

A💥RAPID FIRE💥 session on the 🔒 safe preservation, transportation 🚑🚁, and evaluation 📝 of the donor lung 🫁 especially given implementation of CAS which can potentially ⬆️ transport and ischemic times
🔑 takeaways and things to think about 💭🤔

💥ML CNN-based models accurately predicted future lung fxn during EVLP assessments w/no difference in predicted EVLP outcome using actual or simulated vent data.
❓How do we optimally implement ML to replace the control arm of clx trials w/ digital lung simulations?

This afternoon @ISHLT #ISHLT2024 is ALL about the optimization of the allograft pre-transplant!
A session on novel developments in ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) for 🫁♻️ and efforts around lung preservation. Read on! 🤓
cfDNA reflects lung injury post txp. What are the implications of concentration of cfDNA at 1 hr in EVLP perfusate on outcomes?
⬆️ cfDNA concentration in perfusate results in a HIGHER rate of organ decline for transplant
