ABSTRACT
With advances in surgical techniques, an increasing number of children are becoming transplant candidates. Pediatric critical care physicians may need to manage both transplant donors and recipients in the pediatric intensive care unit. Care of such patients needs to be performed aggressively with complete attention to details in order to obtain successful transplant outcomes. The postoperative management of the transplant recipient includes the basic intensive care monitoring and management of postoperative patients who are critically ill. Besides this, there are some unique features among these patients which may complicate the postoperative stay in the pediatric intensive care unit and these are discussed here. It is important to remember that the successful management of a transplant patient includes the pediatric critical care physician's abilities of not only taking care of acute issues but also of coordinating care between subspecialists. The pediatric critical care physician must always continue to provide support to families of these transplant patients during their intensive care unit stay.
