Anesthesia and perioperative care for solid organ transplantation

This section considers manuscripts concerning anesthesia and perioperative care for patients requiring organ transplantation, including liver, kidney, pancreas, intestine, heart, lung, multiorgan transplantation as well as transplantations that not fully established yet such as face, uterus and extremity transplantation. The scope of this section includes, but is not limited to the followings topics:

*preoperative patient selection and cardio-pulmonary evaluation,

*association between preoperative conditions and postoperative outcomes,

*dealing with intraoperative problems, including hemodynamic instability, bleeding versus clotting, and electrolyte abnormalities,

*postoperative survival and complications; management of infection in the immunosuppressed patient.
