Abstract

Lung transplantation is the last resort for end-stage lung disease treatment. Due to increased survival, lung recipients present an increased likelihood to be submitted to anesthesia and surgery. This case report describes a 23-year-old female patient with history of lung transplantation for cystic fibrosis, with multiple complications, and chronic kidney disease, and who underwent kidney transplantation under general anesthesia. Understanding the pathophysiology and changes related to immunosuppressive therapy is essential to anesthetic technique planning and safety, and for perioperative management. The success of both anesthesia and surgery requires a qualified multidisciplinary team due to the rarity of the clinical scenario and high incidence of associated morbidity and mortality.

Resumo

O transplante pulmonar é o último recurso no tratamento de doenças pulmonares terminais. Devido ao aumento da sobrevida, esses doentes são cada vez mais submetidos a procedimentos anestésico-cirúrgicos. Descrevemos o caso de uma doente de 23 anos com antecedentes de transplante pulmonar por fibrose cística, com múltiplas complicações, e doença renal crônica submetida a transplante renal sob anestesia geral. O conhecimento da fisiopatologia e das alterações condicionadas pela terapêutica imunossupressora são cruciais para planejamento e segurança da técnica anestésica e gestão do período peri-operatório. O sucesso anestésico-cirúrgico exige uma equipe multidisciplinar experiente pela raridade e elevada taxa de morbimortalidade associada.
