ANESTH&INTENS CARE ORGAN TRANS by J R Klinck Pdf
Management of the transplant patient is complex and requires both insight into the scientific principles underlying transplantation and a practical approach to the difficult clinical problems that are encountered. This book addresses both these needs and reflects the lessons that have been learnt from the first two decades of work in this rapidly expanding field. It provides essential background information on tissue preservation, transplant biology and immunosuppression, looks at anesthetic assessment and management, including current trends in patient selection, and discusses post-operative intensive care of the patient including problems of infection, rejection and multi-organ failure. Legal and organizational issues, some highly controversial, are also covered. All chapters have been contributed by authors with substantial experience, providing a comprehensive, relevant and readable account of transplantation for the anesthetist and intensivist in training and in practice.
