Simulation in Anaesthesia/Critical Care for Liver Transplantation (SALT) Workshop

Pre-symposium Workshop

Simulation in Anaesthesia/Critical Care for Liver Transplantation (SALT) Workshop

An interactive half-day simulation-based course designed to cover pertinent essentials of perioperative liver transplant Anaesthesia and Critical Care

This workshop is designed for anaesthesia and critical care specialists, trainees, nurses and assistants who are embarking on the exciting journey of liver transplantation.

General principles apply when providing anaesthesia and critical care for liver transplant recipient patients although there are several unique considerations as a result of the underlying disease process and complications. Working in a liver transplant operating theatre and/or intensive care setting can also be potentially stressful. Teamwork skillsets such as leadership, effective communication and resource utilization are very useful and important.

The specific areas of focus include:

  1. Pre-operative evaluation of the liver transplant candidate
  2. Conduct of anaesthesia for the liver transplant recipient, including management of potential critical events
  3. Advanced haemodynamics monitoring and management
  4. Perioperative coagulation monitoring and management
