Prediction, prevention, and treatment of post reperfusion syndrome in adult orthotopic liver transplant patients.

Importance: This review explores proposed predictors, preventative measures, and treatment options for post-reperfusion syndrome (PRS) in liver transplantation and provides updated data for clinicians.

Objectives: The review aims to understand the status and progress made regarding PRS during orthotopic liver transplantation. Moreover, the predictors of PRS will be analyzed to highlight risk factors.

Abdominal Organ Transplantation: Noteworthy Literature in 2022.

This review highlights noteworthy literature published in 2022 pertinent to anesthesiologists and critical care physicians caring for patients undergoing abdominal organ transplantation. We begin by exploring the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had across the field of abdominal organ transplantation, including the successful use of grafts procured from COVID-19-infected donors. In pancreatic transplantation, we highlight several studies on dexmedetomidine and ischemia-reperfusion injury, equity in transplantation, and medical management, as well as studies comparing pancreatic transplantation to islet cell transplantation.
