[Anesthetics and intensive therapeutic aspects of liver transplantation]. Orv Hetil. 2018 Nov;159(46):1891-1897 Authors: Fazakas J, Smudla A Abstract One of the most prominent results of our age is organ transplantation, the single treatment option for patients with end-stage organ failure. The success of transplants depends on the donor care, the patient preoperative preassessment, the perioperative care of organ transplantation and aftercare. Successful transplantation therefore requires a prominent level of continuous collaboration between the surgeon, anaesthesiologist, radiologist, internal medicine and hepatologist, laboratory physician and almost all their associates. The complex interdisciplinary approach based on the research results can be used to improve the patient's condition through pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy and psychotherapy during the time spent on waiting lists. The emergence of more active, targeted therapeutic options in perioperative graft resuscitation may help the currently inferior quality transplantable grafts or resuscitation out (machine perfusion) or in the recipient, thereby increasing the number of liver transplants. Deeper knowledge of hemostatic processes, along with the development of surgical techniques, would increase the number of blood transplant free transplants, thus improving the long-term survival of grafts. The present study aims at presenting the anaesthesia and early intensive therapy a...
