Abstract
Purpose of review: This review was created to highlight important articles from the past year related to the evolving field of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in liver transplantation that are relevant to the transplant anesthesiologist.
Recent findings: The International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS) recently completed a landmark project, the ERAS4OLT.org project, which culminated in 80 recommendations for ERAS in liver transplantation. These recommendations encompass management for deceased donor recipients, living donor recipients and living donors. This review highlights selected articles relevant to the perioperative management of deceased donor liver transplant recipients.
Summary: Though, there are now published internationally agreed upon recommendations for ERAS topics specific to liver transplantation, there is an obvious need for further investigation into this area to provide high quality evidence to support these recommendations. It is reasonable to utilize these recommendations in ERAS protocols for individual institutions; however, more evidence is needed in several areas to confirm the effects of these protocols on short-term outcomes.
