SCCM Resource Library-Perioperative Intensive Care of the Liver Transplant Recipient

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the perioperative intensive care of liver transplant recipients. It highlights the routine and unique needs of patients with end-stage liver disease and the different models of transplant critical care. The speaker emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, involving hepatologists, transplant surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, and other specialists. Two main models of critical care are discussed: discontinuous care in multiple units and continuous holistic management by the same team. The advantages and disadvantages of each model are presented. The video also touches on the role of specialized liver transplant ICUs in modifying patient outcomes, with a focus on optimizing patient care, listing as many patients as possible, and maximizing transplant success. Additionally, the importance of palliative care for non-survivors is highlighted. The video concludes by emphasizing the need for specialized liver ICUs to improve outcomes and expand research opportunities.
