Professor Kyeongman Jeon's research lab specializes in critical care and thoracic surgery, focusing on the management of severe pulmonary complications following lung surgery and the treatment of difficult-to-treat respiratory infections. The lab investigates risk factors and outcomes related to acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) after pneumonectomy, as well as optimizing antibiotic therapy for challenging pathogens like *Mycobacterium abscessus*. Their work emphasizes improving patient outcomes through early detection, risk stratification, and evidence-based treatment strategies in postoperative and infectious lung diseases.
Figures are computed from collected data and may differ slightly.
Standardized combination antibiotic therapy was moderately effective in treating M. abscessus lung disease. However, frequent adverse reactions and the potential for long-duration hospitalization are important problems that remain to be solved.
Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI / ARDS) is the most serious pulmonary complication after lung resection. This study investigated the incidence and outcome of patients with ALI / ARDS who required mechanical ventilation within one week of undergoing pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer and analysed the risk factors. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 146 patients who underwent pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer between May 2001 and April 2006. Preope
