Abstract

Purpose Of Review:

To describe recent advances in lung transplantation relevant to anesthesiologists.

Recent Findings:

There is recent literature describing medical, surgical, anesthetic and critical care of lung transplant recipients.

Summary:

There have been substantial changes in preoperative selection and preparation of lung transplant recipients; these include donation after cardiac death, and improved lung-preservation solutions. Newer immunosuppression regimens have been successfully evaluated in clinical trials. Particular advances in anesthesia include endorsement of fluid restriction in thoracic surgery, greater use of transesophageal echocardiography, and postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...
