An overview of the processes and things we do as anaesthesiologists while giving perioperative care for liver transplant recipients. Key areas include preoperative assessment, focusing on different organ systems, intraoperative management with an emphasis on reperfusion , pros and cons of pre-emptive versus responsive pressors. A quick recap of the postoperative areas of interest and ways to monitor effectively.
