Abstract:
Cardiac transplantation has become an acceptable therapy for patients with end stage heart disease over the last decade. We experienced a case of heart transplantation to the 50 year old female patient. We used sterile technique all the time to reduce the incidence of infection. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with fentanyl 100 ug/kg. After cardiopulmonary bypass, blood products, inotropics and vasodilators were given to maintain myocardial contractility and cardiac output. The patient recovered uneventfully and discharged on 29th postoperative day.
