Anesthesia for severe liver dysfunction.
By using these guidelines, we have safely anesthetized high-risk liver patients with minimal complications. By understanding the consequences of the underlying disease, prudent selection of agents that use alternate methods of excretion, careful perioperative support and management, and close observation during the postoperative period, the liver disease patient may be safely anesthetized with minimal complications.
