Abstract
Cirrhosis with end stage liver disease is a leading cause of non-communicable disease related deaths in Sri Lanka. Liver transplantation remains the only curative treatment for such patients. Multi-organ dysfunction characteristic of end stage liver disease, surgical and anaesthetic factors, quality of the graft, coagulopathy and haemodynamic instability, all lead to the complexity of the perioperative care for liver transplant. Aggressive management focused particularly on maintaining intra-operative haemodynamic stability and optimizing haemostasis, directly impacts successful patient outcomes and forms the core of the anaesthetic strategy.
