Transplant Anesthesia

Transplant anesthesia refers to the specialized care provided to patients undergoing organ transplant surgeries, such as heart or lung transplants. In cardiothoracic anesthesia, this involves managing the patient's anesthesia before, during, and after the procedure. Anesthesiologists monitor vital signs, ensure the patient is pain-free and unconscious during surgery, and adjust medications as needed. They also prepare for potential complications and work closely with surgeons to provide optimal care. The goal is to enhance safety, comfort, and recovery for patients receiving life-saving transplants.
