Description
This 60-minute session highlights the Intensive Care unit needs and care in three organ transplantation populations: liver, lung, and bone marrow transplants. Managing these patients requires some knowledge related to the underlying disease, related treatments (patterns of toxicity, alternative regimen), specific emergencies (ie, tumour lysis syndrome, cytokine releasing syndrome, or acute humoral rejection), or specific clinical vignettes (febrile neutropenia). This session will address some of the specifics of each of these issues in three different transplant popluations admitted to the ICU. In addition, this session will address which patients will not benefit from ICU care.
