Case study: single lung transplantation for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Abstract

Single lung transplantation (SLTX) represents a promising, viable option for the management of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of this case study is to discuss the relationship between alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. COPD, and SLTX, and the role of the perioperative nurse.
