Preoperative evaluation of the lung transplant recipient allows for optimal planning of intraoperative ventilation, hemodynamic support, and the need for extracorporeal support. Careful induction of anesthesia is required to avoid acute right ventricular failure and cardiovascular collapse, and transesophageal echocardiography is invaluable in the diagnosis of hemodynamic instability. The increasing perioperative use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bestows new challenges on the anesthesiologist, in terms of hemodynamic, anticoagulation, and fluid management. Early postoperative extubation is feasible, and reduction in early complications confers a long-term survival benefit.
