This comprehensive Center is the only transplant program in the Southwest where all the solid organs are transplanted in one center. Pulmonary and Critical Care Section faculty are actively involved in the lung transplantation program. Section faculty are responsible for patient evaluation, transplant coordination, and follow-up care of lung transplant patients. The Pulmonary Service consists of both inpatient and outpatient facilities. Pulmonary consultations are provided by pulmonary fellows with staff supervision and involve all aspects of pulmonary disease.
Fellows perform procedures with close staff supervision.
Respiratory Care Services offers support for both inpatient and outpatient bronchoscopies with a newly remodeled bronchoscopy suite with fluoroscopy and video capabilities. The Adult Cystic Fibrosis Service was established in 1994 in conjunction with Texas Children's Hospital . Adults with cystic fibrosis are transitioned to both the outpatient and inpatient adult service where they are hospitalized at The Methodist Hospital. The adults are hospitalized at two designated units with specially trained support staff and clinicians. The service has grown and will continue to grow as the lifespan of patients with cystic fibrosis is extended.
