Abstract
Epidural analgesia provides effective pain control after lung transplantation. Postoperative placement can be delayed due to a poor mental status, coagulopathy, and difficult positioning in intubated patients. Conversely, preoperative epidural safety can be questioned due to the potential need for anticoagulation for ECMO or bypass. We sought to compare pain control and pulmonary and epidural morbidity between patients receiving preoperative versus postoperative epidurals.
