Preoperative cardiac assessment in liver transplant candidates
Publication date: Available online 18 February 2020Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical AnaesthesiologyAuthor(s): Andrea De Gasperi, Gregorio Spagnolin, Martina Ornaghi, Laura Petrò, Gianni BiancofioreAbstractNew and extended indications, older age, higher cardiovascular risk, and the long-standing cirrhosis - associated complications mandate specific skills for an appropriate preoperative assessment of the LT candidate. The incidence of cardiac diseases (dysrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease) are increasing among LT recipients: however, no consensus exists among clinical pra...

Enhanced recovery after surgery and practical application to liver transplanation
Publication date: Available online 18 February 2020Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical AnaesthesiologyAuthor(s): M. Susan Mandell, Jiapeng Huang, Jing ZhaoAbstractThere is a growing support for the use of protocols that incorporate multiple steps aimed to reduce the time patients require to regain health. A recurring limitation is the variable outcomes of these protocols with more or less success at the sites they are instituted. This review examines the essential building blocks needed to launch a successful ERAS protocol. It address why there are differences in outcome measures between centers such as length of sta...

Acute kidney injury: A critical care perspective for orthotopic liver transplantation
Publication date: Available online 17 December 2019Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical AnaesthesiologyAuthor(s): Andrew J. MacDonald, Constantine J. KarvellasAcute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high perioperative mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT). In the era of Model of End-stage Liver Disease score-based allocation, more patients with impaired renal function are receiving LT. The majority of preoperative AKI is secondary to azotemia, including hepatorenal syndrome – a progressive form of renal impairment unique to liver failure. Prompt recognition and initiation of cause-directed...

“Perioperative management of anti-thrombotic treatment”
Publication date: Available online 29 January 2020Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical AnaesthesiologyAuthor(s): Alberto Zanetto, Marco Senzolo, Annabel BlasiAbstractEnd stage liver disease is characterized by multiple and complex alterations of hemostasis that are associated with an increased risk of both bleeding and thrombosis. Liver transplantation further challenges the feeble hemostatic balance of patients with decompensated cirrhosis, and the management of anti-thrombotic treatment during and after transplant surgery is particularly difficult. Bleeding was traditionally considered the major concern during and e...

Anesthesia for combined liver-thoracic transplantation
Publication date: Available online 25 January 2020Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical AnaesthesiologyAuthor(s): Miriam Zeillemaker - Hoekstra, Carlijn I. Buis, Vlado Cernak, Koen MEM. ReyntjensAbstractThe combined transplantation of a thoracic organ and the liver is performed in patients with dual-organ failure in whom survival is not expected with single-organ transplantation alone. Although uncommonly performed, the number of combined liver-lung and liver-heart transplants is increasing. Anesthetic management of this complex procedure is challenging. Major blood loss, prolonged operation time, difficult weaning of ...

Economic considerations in abdominal transplantation
Publication date: Available online 22 January 2020Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical AnaesthesiologyAuthor(s): Evan E. Lebovitz, Anh Vinh T. Nguyen, Tetsuro SakaiAbstractCare for end-stage organ failure through transplant is one of the landmark accomplishments of the modern medicine. At the same time, organ transplant is a resource-intensive service that has been under increasing scrutiny in this era of cost containment. A detailed understanding of the economic implications of organ quality, recipient characteristics, and allocation policy is vital for the transplant professionals. Prior studies of kidney transplant...

Perioperative considerations for kidney and pancreas-kidney transplantation
Publication date: Available online 22 January 2020Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical AnaesthesiologyAuthor(s): Beatriz Tena, Marina VendrellSummaryKidney transplantation is the treatment of choice in patients with end-stage renal disease, as it improves survival and quality of life. Living donor kidney transplant prior to pancreas transplantation, or simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation are also discussed.Patients usually present comorbidities, and extensive preoperative workups are recommended, especially cardiac assessment, though type and frequency of surveillance is not established.Nefroprotective st...
