Rejection
Normal response
Inflammation
25% of pt. will have acute rejection
during the first year post transplant
Causes:
Previous Rejection
Noncompliance
High cholesterol
3 Kinds of Rejection
Hyper-acute: happens immediately
Acute: within 1 month of transplant
Chronic: all pts have this
Likely sources of
rejection: 0-1 Month
IV line infection
Urinary tract infection
Wound infection
Pneumonia
Human herpes simplex virus
Outcomes – Heart
Transplant
Hospital LOS
Typical 15
Long Term Survival
3mo: 93%
1yr: 88%
5yr: 76%
10yr: 54%, can go 20+ years
Outcomes – Lung
Transplant
Hospital LOS
1-3 weeks
Long Term Survival
3mo: 91%
1yr: 80%
5yr: 51%
10yr: 21%
Morbidity and Mortality
Most common causes of death in
patient’s with transplant are infection
and rejection
Most common complications for these
patient’s are CVA, kidney failure,
development of DM, muscle atrophy
Physical Therapy Goals
Airway Clearance
Patient Function
Patient Education
Strengthening HEP
Aerobic Training HEP
Pacing, self-monitoring, targeting
exercise, progression of HEP

What is it?
•
Purpose
•
Placement: L side
•
Attachments
•
Equipment: pump
implanted in body,
runs a long cord to
keep infection away.
Ventricular Assist
Devices
LVAD:
RVAD: temporarily
BiVAD: not good success
Total Artificial Heart: bilateral heart failure
Purpose
Temporary: usually because of
complications or younger patients.
Long Term
Bridge to Transplant
Bridge to Explant: wean off VAD

Ventricular Assist
Devices – Types
Types
Pneumatic
Axial Flow: screw that spins fastly
Heartmate 2
• Continuous Flow
• Significantly decreased
pulse pressure
• Anticoagulation
• Hemolysis
• “Vitals”
• Flow: set rate
• Speed
• Power
• Pulsatility Index

Total Artificial Heart
Purpose: bilateral
heart failure
Differences: remove
values
Surgical Procedure:
sternotomy
ICU vs. Home
Equipment
Total
Artificial
Heart
Ventricular Assist
Devices
Operative Procedure
Median Sternotomy
Benefits: able to be on wait list longer
Risks: infection, clotting, bleeding,
cognitive changes.
Lifestyle changes:
24 hour supervision: trained with VAD
emergency.
Stay away from water
Restriction on recreation and exercise
Restriction for static electricity
Necessary equipment: back-up power in
<5min.
Temporary / External
VADS
Purpose
Types
AbioMed
Blood Pump 5000
Ventricles
CentriMag
Stay in ICU
Functional Limitations
AbioMed Ventricle

Heartmate II
Veno-Venous
Extracorporeal Membrane
Oxygenation (ECMO)
Arterial vs.
Venous ECMO
Purpose: used if there is
heart and lung failure.
Venous ECMO: Lines in
jugular that take deO2
blood out, oxygenate it
and then pumps it back
in.
Helps to improve
condition for surgery
Patient Video: VVECMO
Implications For PT
Physiology of LVAD
Preload and afterload dependent
BP (with axial or centrifugal flow)
appropriate target for exercise intensity
Arrhythmias
AICD
Lab Values-HgB/Antibodies
Equipment
Emergency Procedures
Post-Operative Course
Post Transplant Or VAD
ICU Course
Multiple chest tubes, IV lines, A-line, swanganz, catheter, pulse ox, SCDs, telemetry
Delayed sternal closure
Intubated/Sedated
PT POD #1
Focus on Early Mobility: winkleman “bed rest
in hell and critical illness, a body systems
approach”
Early Post-Op Course
Day 1 common problem list
Impaired airway clearance
Decreased chest wall mobility
Decreased functional mobility
Decreased ROM and strength
Limited knowledge of post-surgical
precautions
Other considerations
Pressure relief / skin care
Edema management
Early Post-Op Course
Day 1 common treatment activities
Airway clearance
Breathing exercises
Chest wall mobility
Positioning for postural drainage and
edema management
Shoulder exercises
Bed mobility
Transfer to chair
Initiate patient/family education
Discharge planning
Early Post-Op Course
Day 2-3
Continues in ICU usually PA catheter and
A-line are taken out
Continue with day 1 treatment activities
adjust and progress as necessary
Progress ambulation
Early Post-Op Course
Day 4-14:
Moves out of ICU
Teach independent airway clearance
Progress mobility/activity
Begin stair climbing
Nu-Step or treadmill training
Aerobic home exercise program
Strengthening home exercise program
Functional Outcome Measures
Complete patient/family education
For patients s/p transplant
or LVAD: Issues Regarding
Discharge Home
Significant medication regime and side
effects
Frequent lab, procedure and MD
appointments
Changes in physical appearance/return to
intimacy
Depression and mood disorders
Stress on finances and social support system
Outpatient Treatment
Options
Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation
VADs not covered
Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Outpatient PT (for VADs - comfort level of
therapists?)
Subacute rehab, acute rehab, etc.
