Although using BIS monitoring to evaluate depth of anaesthesia does not bring much benefit versus the use of haemodynamic parameters, it may be beneficial for selected surgeries such as awake craniotomy, for patients with a history of awareness and in haemodynamically unstable patients.
Nowadays, orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the most definitive treatment in patients with end stage liver failure. In the early postoperative period after OCT, hemodynamic stabilization, maintenance of oxygenation with mechanical ventilation and weaning, preservation of renal functions and providing hemostasis should be our main targets. Early diagnosis and treatment of complications with an experienced intensive care team is important for graft function and survival. In this review, perioperative intensive care management of OLT patients was discussed according to current literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
