Pain management for liver transplant recipients
We present current evidence-based literature that reviews optimal pain management strategies for this challenging patient demographic.RECENT FINDINGS: Multiple studies have shown that thoracic epidurals provide superior pain control in open hepatic resections. Recent data suggests thoracic epidurals may be safely considered in select liver transplant recipients with normal preoperative coagulation status; however, this evidence is limited, and further studies are needed. When the risks of coagulopathy prohibit epidural placement, truncal blocks such as transversus abdominis plane blocks or quadratus lumborum blocks and abd...

Coagulation management during liver transplantation: monitoring and decision making for hemostatic interventions
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Sep 19. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001101. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Rebalanced hemostasis describes the precarious balance of procoagulant and antithrombotic proteins in patients with severe liver failure. This review is aimed to discuss currently available coagulation monitoring tests and pertinent decision-making process for plasma coagulation factor replacements during liver transplantation (LT).RECENT FINDINGS: Contemporary viscoelastic coagulation monitoring systems have demonstrated advantages over conventional coagulation tests in assessing the patient's coagu...

Improving liver transplant outcomes with transplant-omics and network biology
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Sep 13. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001100. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Molecular omics data is increasingly ubiquitous throughout medicine. In organ transplantation, recent large-scale research efforts are generating the 'transplant-ome' - the entire set of molecular omics data, including the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. Importantly, early studies in anesthesiology have demonstrated how perioperative interventions alter molecular profiles in various patient populations. The next step for anesthesiologists and intensivists will be to tailor perioperat...

Living liver donor pain management
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Sep 8. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001099. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Optimal pain control in living liver donors undergoing hepatectomy is strongly recommended considering their unique status as healthy individuals willingly undergoing surgery for the benefit of the recipient. This review aims to examine and evaluate different strategies aimed at ensuring effective postoperative pain management in living liver donors.RECENT FINDINGS: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have proven effective in optimizing patient outcomes, including in living liver donor he...
