Intensive Care Management of Post-Transplant Patients

This book explores the perioperative care of adult solid organ transplant patients. Divided into three volumes, it covers recipient selection, preoperative optimisation, surgical and anaesthetic challenges, and post-transplant intensive care management, offering a thorough resource for critical care physicians in the evolving field of transplant.

Authored by recognised experts, the text provides clear, structured guidelines and algorithms for effective clinical decision making, and offers scientific insight into brain death, donor identification, and optimising donor organ support.   

Essential components of transport unit models, infection-control measures, and organ rejection mechanisms, are explored in depth, as are recipient nutritional and physical rehabilitation, and recent and future advances in technology.
