Kidney transplant

| Airway |

| Lines and access |
PIV x2, arterial line |
| Monitors |
Standard, 5-lead ECG |
| Primary anesthetic considerations | |
| Preoperative |
ESRD patients should have potassium checked preop |
| Intraoperative |
Mannitol, lasix, and heparin should be prepared, intraop immunosuppression should be running before reperfusion, potassium free IVF should be used |
| Postoperative |
Replace UOP with IVF, may have delayed graft function if increased cold storage time |

Kidney transplantation provides patients with ESRD an opportunity to continue living without the need for frequent dialysis. Kidney transplants can either be from a deceased donor (aka cadaveric) or from a living donor, at times genetically related to the patient (aka living related), but not always (aka living-unrelated).

Labs and studies
CBC (pay attention to Hb for likely chronic anemia secondary to low erythropoietin production)
BMP (pay attention to K which may be elevated in ESRD)
Operating room setup
- Prepare a-line setup
- Have mannitol, furosemide, heparin in room
Patient preparation and premedication
- Midazolam, tylenol
Regional and neuraxial techniques
- Epidural or CSE may be used for postop pain management
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
- After induction of anesthesia, a 3-way foley catheter is placed into the bladder.
- An a-line is commonly placed for blood pressure monitoring and frequent lab draws, avoiding the side of the AV fistula
Induction and airway management
- If K<5.5, succinylcholine may be used as a paralytic, otherwise, cisatracurium or rocuronium may be used
Positioning
- Supine
- Avoid pressure on AV fistula which may lead to thrombosis. Must be carefully padded.
Maintenance and surgical considerations
- Standard maintenance
- Anticipate prolonged drug effects for renally metabolized/excreted medications
- Avoid meperidine (which may accumulate as nomeperidine > CNS toxicity)
Emergence
- Patients are usually extubated in the OR
- Ensure adequate NMB reversal
Postoperative management
Disposition
- Usually to PACU
- Patients with other concurrent transplants (pancreas, liver, etc) may be monitored in the ICU
Pain management
- PCA
- Epidural
Potential complications
- Fistula thrombosis if improperly padded
- Hemorrhage
- Delayed urine output, dialysis may be needed until renal function returns
- Bucking or coughing during emergence may lead to forceful tugging on transplanted kidney and disruption of anastomoses
