Utilization of Pseudomonas Eradication Protocols Amongst Lung Transplant Centers
Purpose: Chronic airway colonization with Pseudomonas is associated with the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) in lung transplant recipients (LTRs). Eradication efforts with inhaled and/or systemic antibiotics are common in the cystic fibrosis population. The aim of our survey is to understand current Pseudomonas eradication practices within the lung transplant population.
