title: [Evaluating physical fitness after unilateral lung transplantation with ergometry and blood gas analysis].
abstract: 7 patients aged 30-56 years with the perception of subjective increased fitness 4-22 months after single lung transplantation were tested for the objective benefit. Using a standardized ergometric test protocol cardiopulmonary parameters (ventilation, blood gases, gas exchange, blood pressure, ECG) were measured 5 males and 2 females. After transplantation in all patients the objective fitness was increased by 30-60 watts and the blood gases were markedly improved. The physical fitness of the subjects under study was probably limited by the reduced lung function of the native lung, the reduced mobility of the diaphragm in elderly patients and the impaired muscular strength and endurance.
