Extended duration of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) provides opportunities to resuscitate suboptimal donor livers. This intervention requires adequate oxygen delivery typically provided by a blood-based perfusion solution. Methaemoglobin (MetHb) results from the oxidation of iron within haemoglobin and represents a serious problem in perfusions lasting > 24 h.

- The Chilean liver transplantation allocation system prioritizes candidates using MELD/PELD scores, but the equity for pediatric candidates compared to adults is questioned.
- A study analyzed data from 122 pediatric and 735 adult liver transplant candidates, focusing on outcomes such as liver transplantation rates and waiting list mortality.
- The findings revealed that pediatric candidates, particularly those under two years old, face significant challenges in accessing cadaveric liver transplants, with higher mortality rates on the waiting list compared to adults.
Background: Simulation training is a validated, highly effective tool for learning laparoscopy. Feedback plays a crucial role in motor skills training. We present an app to guide students during advanced laparoscopy simulation training and evaluate its effect on training.
