What is Organ Transplant Anesthesia and Critical Care?

In an Organ Transplant Anesthesia and Critical Care department, specialised procedures are performed to manage anaesthesia and provide critical care for patients undergoing organ transplantation.

Here are some common procedures

  • Comprehensive Evaluation - Assessing the patient’s medical history, organ function, and comorbidities to formulate an individualised anaesthesia plan.
  • Risk Stratification - Evaluating potential risks associated with anaesthesia and surgery, including organ-specific considerations.

  • Induction of Anesthesia - Using intravenous agents (e.g., propofol, etomidate) to induce general anaesthesia safely and effectively.
  • Maintenance of Anesthesia - Employing inhalational anaesthetics (e.g., sevoflurane, desflurane) or total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) to maintain anaesthesia throughout the procedure.
  • Monitoring - Continuous monitoring of vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and neurological status, using advanced monitoring techniques.

  • Fluid Management - Administering fluids and blood products judiciously to maintain hemodynamic stability during surgery, especially important in transplant procedures.
  • Pain Management - Utilising multimodal analgesia techniques to ensure effective pain control, which may include regional anaesthesia techniques (e.g., epidural or nerve blocks).

  • Liver Transplantation - Special attention to managing coagulation status and hepatic function, as well as ensuring appropriate hemodynamic support during surgery.
  • Kidney Transplantation - Monitoring fluid balance and kidney function closely; managing electrolytes and potential complications related to renal function.
  • Heart and Lung Transplantation - Ensuring optimal cardiopulmonary function and managing potential respiratory complications during and after surgery.
