Overview

With approximately 8,000 liver transplant operations per year world-wide, this surgical procedure has become relatively routine. Improvements in surgical and anesthetic techniques and immunosuppression have resulted in improved outcomes, but cardiovascular events and sepsis remain the principal obstacles to further lowering morbidity and mortality rates. Consequently, cardiovascular assessment and optimisation are of increased interest to anaesthetists and other professionals involved in liver transplant programs. This book summarises the current knowledge on preoperative hemodynamic profiling and cardiovascular assessment of patients awaiting liver transplantation.
