Saving lives through organ transplantation has become increasingly possible thanks to advances in research and care.

Today, the complex field of transplantation continues to develop rapidly, fuelled by demographic change and further evolutions in scientific understanding.

The Oxford Textbook of Transplant Anaesthesia and Critical Care has been written and edited by pioneers in the field of organ transplantation with an international team of authors, in order to equip anaesthetists and intensivists with the knowledge and training necessary to provide high quality and evidence-based care.

The text addresses fundamentals aspects of scientific knowledge, care of the donor patient, transplant ethics and special considerations.

Dedicated sections address each of the major organs; kidney, pancreas, liver, heart and lung, intestinal and multivisceral.

Within each organ-based section, expert authors explore underlying disease, planning for transplantation, specialized procedures, perioperative and critical care management as well as post-transplant considerations.

Focus points for future developments in transplant immunology are also set out, inspiring current practitioners to engage with current clinical research and help participate in the further advancement of the science of transplantation.
