Abstract

                 Liver transplantation is the standard of treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease even though it is a procedure with a high risk of complications, both during surgery and post-operative care. As such, early care for liver transplant patients is considered a critical phase in treatment, and patients must be supervised in the intensive care unit and monitored regularly for cardiac and respiratory function assessments to prevent complications.
