Abstract
The peri-operative management of the only surviving case, to date, of living-related small bowel transplantation is described. The anaesthet ic technique was chosen to optimize hepato-splanchnic blood flow. Peri operative splanchnic blood flow was measured and alterations in flow w ith changes in inotropic agents and volume loading monitored. There ap pears to be a role for the use of dopexamine and aggressive volume loa ding.
