Background:
For lung transplant recipients (LTRs), rehabilitation management after lung transplantation is a crucial link affecting the recovery of pulmonary function. This study systematically summarizes and generalizes the relevant evidences on postoperative pulmonary function rehabilitation management in LTRs, thereby providing a basis for formulating clinical strategies for postoperative pulmonary function rehabilitation management in this patient population.
Methods:
Based on the "6S" evidence model, a systematic search was conducted in domestic and international databases and websites, including UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Guidelines International Network (GIN), and China Yimai Tong Guidelines Network, from the establishment of each database to July 2025. Relevant evidences on postoperative pulmonary function rehabilitation management for LTRs were extracted, and two researchers independently conducted quality assessment, evidence extraction, and integration of the included literature.
Results:
A total of 18 studies were included, consisting of 3 expert consensuses, 4 systematic reviews/evidence summaries, 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 5 quasi-experimental studies, and 2 cohort studies. A total of 30 pieces of best evidence were summarized, covering 8 themes: rehabilitation assessment, early intervention, exercise training, nutritional management, medication management, respiratory function training, psychological support, and long-term follow-up.
Conclusions:
Based on evidence-based principles, this study summarizes the best evidence for postoperative pulmonary function rehabilitation training in LTRs and proposes 30 clinically applicable recommendations, which provides a theoretical basis for the clinical implementation of pulmonary function rehabilitation management. Clinical medical and nursing staff should combine specific clinical scenarios and professional judgments to translate the evidence into practice, and provide scientific rehabilitation management and guidance for LTRs.

01:25Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
