Description: This webinar, recorded in 2024, will discuss the evolving evidence that exercise-based pulmonary (p)rehabilitation should be considered essential in optimizing functional capacity, enhancing health-related quality-of-life, decreasing post-operative complications, and improving outcomes in lung transplant candidates and recipients. Based on clinical practice and giving case examples where appropriate, it will detail the critical importance of a team-based approach in optimizing the (p)rehabilitation of such patients.   

Learning Objectives:

1. Summarize the evidence that exercise-based pulmonary (p)rehabilitation can optimize functional capacity, enhance health-related quality-of-life, and improve outcomes in lung transplant candidates and recipients. 
2. Identify the prevalence and prognostic significance of frailty in lung transplant candidates and recipients. 
3. Recognize the practical considerations for the management of pre- and post-operative complications and the need for education on indefinite self-monitoring in lung transplant recipients.
