Abstract:
We managed three cases of anesthesia for living related liver transplantation from December 1994 to July 1995. Donors were recipient's parents and two of them were 35-year old man, the other was 25-year-old woman. The recipients were suffered from congenital liver diseases (two of them were diagnosed as biliary atresia and the other Byler's disease). They had presented severe jaundice and cholangitis and their mean age & body weight were 15 +/- 4.9 months and 8.6 +/- 1.22 kg, respectively. Average duration of anesthesia was about 15 hours, and anhepatic time was 140 minutes, 80 m inutes and 50 minutes, respectively. Careful attention was paid to body temperature, serum potassium, ionized calcium, blood coagulation function, as well as to general condition and respiratory function. Hemodynamic value was relatively stable through out the operation and postoperative mechanical ventilatory support was required for about 3 days.
