Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on airway complications in post-lung transplant recipients with evidence of restricted levels of blood and oxygen in the airway tissue. Study subjects with extensive airway tissue damage in the early post-transplant period will be randomized to HBOT or usual care and followed clinically for 12 months following randomization. The investigators hypothesize that HBOT will decrease the number of airway complications in the treated subjects.
