Liver Transplant

New CA2. I just finished my first liver transplant and it was awesome. Pt was late 60s hx of chronic Hep C and met colon CA to liver s/p resection 7 yrs ago. Diabetes, HTN but normal heart. Case went great despite lasting 9 hrs and losing 2L of blood since it was a re-operation. "Usual" case length is 4-5 hours. 6 units of PRBCs, 5 units FFP, 6pk platelets, some cryo, 1L albumin, and 2.5L crystalloid. We went upstairs with normal ABG and no pressors. The set-up was a beast but thank dog... Liver Transplant
