Anaesthesia for Transplant Surgery
Anaesthesia for Transplant Surgery
If the intermediate curriculum is to be believed, one only needs to know 'the issues of anaesthesia for renal transplant surgery', and not for any other organ being transplanted.
However, a recent slew of BJA Education articles on anaesthesia for other organs' transplant surgery may raise suspicions.
Certainly the time-poor candidate should focus their efforts on anaesthesia for renal transplant surgery.
Those with more time, or a high degree of scepticism about examiner adherence to the curriculum, can read about anaesthesia for:
- Heart transplant
- Anaesthesia for heart transplantation (BJA Education, 2021)
- Perioperative care of the cardiac transplant patient (Deranged Physiology, 2015)
- Lung transplant
- Anaesthesia for lung transplantation (BJA Education, 2020)
- Perioperative care of the lung transplant patient (Deranged Physiology, 2016)
- Intestinal transplant
- Pancreatic transplant
- Liver transplant
