Abstract
The global prevalence of liver disease continues to increase and is currently the second leading cause of mortality in digestive disease in the U.S. The World Health Organization autopsy data shows that 4.5-9.5% of the general population has cirrhosis and the number of surgeries performed in the U.S. and worldwide is continuing to rise. Given the significant impact of anesthetic technique and intraoperative management on morbidity and mortality in this population, this chapter discusses the preoperative workup and optimization of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) patients. Procedures that are specific to ESLD and those commonly performed in ESLD are highlighted.
