The power of the liver transplant waiting list: a case presentation.
Abstract End-stage liver disease (ESLD), the final stage of chronic liver disease, is treated with liver transplant. Many patients have serious ESLD-related complications and are admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment. Such patients are temporarily unsuitable to undergo transplant surgery and are placed into a temporarily inactive category, "status 7," on the transplant waiting list. Status 7 patients account for about 15% of all patients on the list. To describe the experience of a status 7 patient on the liver transplant waiting list from the perspectives of family members, 38 hours of bedside observa...

Critical Care of the Liver Transplant Recipient
This article provides an overview of the approach to critical care of the postoperative adult liver transplant recipient outlining common issues faced by the intensivist. Approaches to extubation and hemodynamic assessment are described. The provision of appropriate immunosuppression, infection prophylaxis, and nutrition is addressed. To aid prompt diagnosis and treatment, intensivists must be aware of postoperative complications of bleeding, primary nonfunction, delayed graft function, vascular thromboses, biliary complications, rejection, and organ dysfunction.

Perioperative Considerations in Liver Transplantation
This article focuses on the preoperative evaluation, intraoperative care, and postoperative management of the liver transplant patient. Management relevant to the critically ill patient is discussed, with a focus on the management of postoperative cardiopulmonary conditions including the care of special populations such as those with hepatopulmonary syndrome and portopulmonary hypertension.

Emerging Role of Extracorporeal Support in Acute and Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure: Recent Developments
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2018; 39: 625-634 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1675334Acute liver failure (ALF) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) are life-threatening illnesses requiring intensive care admission and potentially liver transplantation. Artificial extracorporeal liver support (ECLS) systems remove water-soluble and albumin-bound toxins to maintain normal serum chemistry, prevent further hepatic/organ system damage, and create an environment for potential hepatic regeneration/recovery (ALF) or bridge to liver transplantation (ALF and ACLF). Use of artificial ECLS has been studied in both ALF and ACLF. Artificial ECL...

Changes in acute blood purification therapy in critical care: republication of the article published in the Japanese Journal of Artificial Organs
AbstractAcute blood purification therapy is an essential artificial organ in critical care. In the review article, looking back on the history, we describe our present knowledge and techniques of acute blood purification therapy in critical care. The topics include continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF), online HDF as an artificial liver support, blood purification therapy aiming to remove pathogenic substances of sepsis, a procedure for connecting a CRRT device into an extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation circuit, and replacement fluid for CHDF. We also raise remaining issues and clarify the future direction of acute blood p...

Donation after circulatory determination of death in western Canada: a multicentre study of donor characteristics and critical care practices.
CONCLUSION: There is significant variability in critical care DCD practices in western Canada, but this has not resulted in significant differences in recipient or graft survival. Further research is required to guide optimal management of potential DCD donors. PMID: 32100271 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Multi-Modal Characterization of the Coagulopathy Associated With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Conclusions: The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-associated coagulopathy is a multifactorial and quickly developing syndrome. It is characterized by individual changes of coagulation parameters and platelets and is aggravated by anticoagulants. The underlying factors of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-associated coagulopathy differ between venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients and are best diagnosed by a combination of point-of-care and conventional coagulation and platelet analyses. Therapy protocols for treating extracorporeal membrane o...

Hypoalbuminemia Within Two Postoperative Days Is an Independent Risk Factor for Acute Kidney Injury Following Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Propensity Score Analysis of 998 Consecutive Patients*
Objective: Acute kidney injury is a known major complication of liver transplantation. Previous reports have shown that hypoalbuminemia is associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury. However, little is known about the relationship between the early postoperative albumin level and acute kidney injury after living donor liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to identify the influence of the postoperative albumin level on acute kidney injury prevalence after living donor liver transplantation. Design: A retrospective analysis. Setting: A tertiary care university hospital. Patients: Nine hundred and nin...

Methylene Blue: Magic Bullet for Vasoplegia?
(Abstracted from Anesth Analg, 122:194–201, 2016) The perioperative and critical care literature recently has devoted considerable attention to methylene blue (MB) because it has the ability to antagonize the profound vasodilation encountered in distributive (also known as vasodilatory or vasoplegic) shock states. This comprehensive review article discusses the pharmacologic characteristics of MB and reviews the critical care, liver transplantation, and cardiac anesthesia literature featuring the efficacy and safety of MB for the treatment of shock.

Portopulmonary Hypertension
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2017; 38: 651-661 DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1606251Portal hypertension may have major consequences on the pulmonary vasculature due to complex pathophysiological interactions between liver and lungs. Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH) is characterized by the association of portal hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). As progressive elevation of right ventricular afterload can lead to right heart failure, PoPH is a serious complication of portal hypertension, affecting functional status and prognosis of patients. Early detection by transthoracic echocardiography must be performed in sy...

Acute Liver Failure
This article focuses on the diagnosis and management of ALF. We provide a detailed review of the common etiologies of ALF, including acetaminophen overdose, viral hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, Wilson's disease, and autoimmune hepatitis. The article then addresses how to recognize ALF and reviews the role of common laboratory and imaging tests in establishing this diagnosis. The remainder of the article details the management of hepatic and extrahepatic organ dysfunctions in ALF. The article concludes with a discussion regarding the prognostication of patients with ALF and the criteria for considering liver transpla...
