Book Chapter Description

Anaesthesia for liver transplantation (LT) is still challenging due to the potential forhaemodynamic instability during reperfusion, massive blood loss, pro-and anti-coagulant factor imbalance, massive fluid replacement and fluid shift, all organ impairment, severe cardiovascular events, rapid deterioration and marginal grafts. There is no official training program for LT anaesthetists, and different countries have different ways of preparing anaesthetists for safe LT anaesthesia delivery. The fact that there are numerous publications on anaesthesia indicates that this speciality is very complex. Therefore, this chapter aims to simplify and explain the basics of LT anaesthesia and should be read alongside all of the other chapters in the LT section.
