A Total Intravenous Anesthetic Experience of Pediatric Living Related Liver Transplantation with Propofol: A case report / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

We have experienced one case of anesthesia for living related liver transplantation with propofol. The recipient was 18-month-old girl and 10.5 kg. She was suffered from congenital liver disease (biliary atresia). We decided propofol as an anesthetic agent of the recipient with permission of the recipient's parents. Total anesthetic time was about 13 hours and anhepatic phase was 110 min. Careful attention was paid to prevent infection, hypothermia, hepatic artery thrombosis and to keep proper lung function. Hemodynamic changes were relatively stable throughout the operation and postoperative mechanical ventilatory support was required for about 2 days.
