Gastrointestinal tract and liver
View through CrossRef
Anaesthetists are commonly involved in resuscitation and operative intervention in patients with chronic or acute gastrointestinal disorders or liver disease. The physiological consequences of bowel obstruction and anaesthetic considerations for laparotomy are described. Assessment and resuscitation in massive gastrointestinal haemorrhage is discussed; intervention and specialized management of variceal bleeds is also covered. The recognition, management and complications of acute, severe pancreatitis as well as multi-system effects of abdominal compartment syndrome are included. These are both commonly associated with critical illness and need for urgent intervention.
