§16§§This concise, accessible book covers anesthesia for hepatico-pancreatic-biliary (HPB) surgery and transplantation, based on randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses, case series, reports, and hands-on experience. The anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and clinical consequences are discussed, and the close ties between HPB resection and transplant anesthesia are explored. The content reflects current real-world practice, as liver and pancreatic transplant surgeries have substantially improved in terms of blood-loss reduction, fast tracking and reduced risk. The book also addresses anesthetic aspects in connection with the recently introduced and rapidly expanding practice of laparoscopic surgery; with enhanced recovery; and with pancreatic surgery.§ §§§§Anesthesia for Hepatico-Pancreatic-Biliary Surgery and Transplantation is intended for aspiring HPB and transplant anesthetists, anesthesia trainees, and consultants with experience in HPB anesthesia who want t §16§o see whether or not they're up to date on the current standards. §§ §04§§Part I: Anatomy and Physiology of the Liver.- Anatomy of HepatoPancreatoBiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation Relevant to Anaesthesia.- Anatomy and physiology of the liver.- Part II: Liver transplantation.- Pathophysiology behind cardiopulmonary complications of cirrhosis and portal hypertension.- Liver Transplantation: Graft Variables.- Surgical aspects of liver transplantation.- Pre-assessment for Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary and Liver Transplant Surgery.- The Role of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) in the Preoperative Assessment of Patients for Hepatico-Pancreatic-Biliary (HPB) Surgery and Liver Transplantation (LT).- Anaesthesia for Liver Transplantation.- How does the aetiology of primary liver disease affect anaesthesia for liver transplantation.- Haemodynamic monitoring during liver transplant surgery.- Point of Care Viscoelastic Haemostasis Monitoring During liver Transplant Surgery.- How to Reduce Bleeding and Blood Transfusion During Liver Transplantation.- F §04§ast tracking in liver transplant programme.- Acute kidney injury in hepatico-pancreatic-biliary surgery and liver transplantation.- Use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation during Liver Transplantation.- Liver preservation with extracorporeal perfusion.- Veno-venous bypass in liver transplantation.- Part III: Liver resection.- Biology of liver tumors and outcomes of liver surgery.- Anaesthesia for Live Donor Hepatectomy.- Strategies for low central venous pressure in liver resection surgery.- Enhanced Recover after HPB Surgery.- Postoperative analgesia in liver resection surgery.- Part IV: Pancreas.- Surgical Aspects of Hapato- Pancreato- Biliary Surgery.- Perioperative anaesthetic considerations for the Whipple procedure and other pancreatic surgeries.- Anaesthetic management for patients undergoing pancreas transplantation.- Part V: Paediatric.- Anaesthesia for Paediatric Liver Surgery.- Anaesthesia for Paediatric Liver Transplantation.- Anaesthesia for Hepatico-Pancreatic-Bil §04§iary Surgery and Transplantation Communication between HPB anaesthetists: meetings, websites and forums.§§§
