why are CV considerations important perioperatively in pt undergoing kidney transplant?
pts (likely) have underlying ischemic heart disease and CHF
perioperative CV considerations for the kidney transplant pt
- increased SVR & HTN = increased MVO2
- LV hypertrophy and increased LVEDP –> decreased coronary perfusion and increased MVO2
- hyperlipidemia
- chronic anemia –> right shift of oxy-hgb curve and increased 2, 3 dpg
preop coagulopathy considerations in the pt undergoing kidney transplant
- uremia –> abnormal plt, thrombocytopenia, ineffective production of VIII and vWF
- PT and aPTT usually normal
it pt undergoing kidney transplant has some coagulopathies 2/2 to kidney dz, what medication should you consider administering
DDAVP
corrects bleeding time, increased levels of factor VIII & vWF & may reduce surgical losses
T/F: when doing a kidney transplant the diseased kidneys are left in the patient
true (except with PCKD)
anesthetic management considerations for the pt undergoing a kidney transplant
- planning for postop pain management
- choice of agents
- choice of fluids
- monitor fluid status, CVP in place - airway management
- IV
- monitors
- Invasive lines (+/-): like CVP on this pt
- immunosuppression drugs immediately prior to reperfusion
intraoperative anesthetic management for pt undergoing kidney transplant
- potential for major swings (induction post-dialysis hypovolemia, tx hypotension promptly)
- tx hypotension with reperfusion
- tx hypotension with volume first then vasopressors
- administer immunosuppressants, heparin and protamine
- emergence and extubated in the OR most of the time.
___________ is the primary cure for diabetes
pancreas transplant
what immunosuppressants have significantly improved pancreas transplant survival
- tacrolimus

a lot of times if a pancreas is transplanted, what other organ is also transplanted
kidney
indications for pancreas transplant
- DM (type I and II)
- chronic pancreatitis

with pancreas transplant, with reperfusion of the new pancreas, blood glucose should be monitored every ______________ minutes
30
typically glucose concentrations decrease _______________ mg/dl/hr
50
you should plan to start a ____________ infusion if patient is undergoing pancreas transplant
insulin
anesthetic management for a pancreatic transplant
- choice of induction agent (consider if there is kidney dz as well - cisatracurium)
- airway management
- monitors
- invasive lines and IV
- fluid administration guided by volume status indicators
