Liver Transplant Set-up and Workflow

Liver Transplants are exciting, big cases, and the liver transplant anesthesia attending team is present and actively involved in the set-up and intra-op management. Whether it's your first case or you're on your 20th of the rotation, check out this document for some details about the pre-op, prep, and intra-op workflow for the case!

Liver Call

• Liver 1: 2 week rotation where the resident is first-call for any liver transplants on weekdays and weekends. They will rotate through the MSD on days where no liver transplants occur, but are not eligible for MSD call on the weekdays/weekends. The Liver 1 call resident will have a DAC on the Monday following their last Sunday of the two-week rotation. Residents are expected to notify the rotation directors of the rotations (e.g. ICU) that follow their Liver rotation of their  post-Liver Monday DAC to ensure that they aren't scheduled for a shift on that Monday.

• Liver 2: Backup resident on the weekends (7a-7a) to be available via home-call for simultaneous liver transplants, or when two back-to-back livers will cause the Liver 1 resident to break duty hours.
