Caring for the Transplant Patient for Non-transplant Anesthesia

Learning objectives

1. 1Identify immunosuppressive regimens, drug interactions, and types of graft rejection in solid organ transplant recipients.
2. 2Analyze organ-specific post-transplant physiology, complications, and graft dysfunction across heart, lung, kidney, pancreas, and liver transplant recipients.
3. 3Assess anesthetic and pharmacologic management considerations for non-transplant surgery in transplant recipients, including hemodynamic support, airway management, ventilation strategies, regional anesthesia risks, and analgesic selection.
