Abstract

The standard monitorization proposed by the American Society of Anesthesiology will be sufficient for both the donor and the recipient. Electrocardiography (ideally with ST segment analysis), pulse oximeter, capnography, urine volume, non-invasive blood pressure, neuromuscular monitoring are required. Appropriate anesthesia technique should be selected taking into account the existing diseases of the patient, the duration of surgery and the possibilities of renal protection. Since preservation of graft function is directly related to graft perfusion, it is the primary issue of renal perfusion during donor nephrectomy. Renal transplant recipients without severe cardiac or respiratory problems are extubated after surgery. Very rarely, the patient needs mechanical ventilation in intensive care conditions.
