Zusammenfassung:The peri-operative management of the only surviving case, to date, of living-related small bowel transplantation is described. The anaesthetic technique was chosen to optimize hepato-splanchnic blood flow. Peri-operative splanchnic blood flow was measured and alterations in flow with changes in inotropic agents and volume loading monitored. There appears to be a role for the use of dopexamine and aggressive volume loading.
