- Abstract
- Until now, there is nor indication or contra-indication regarding the duration of treatment by methadone for patients requiring pulmonary transplantation. The main advantage is the patient's stabilization by minimizing possible relapses. This advantage is to compare the following major inconvenience: increased confusional risk, delicate management of the post-operative pain, negative impact on the immunity. The support, a double psychoeducation and the patient's decision making are to be encouraged.
