Abstract
Introduction:
Expected Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay following Liver Transplant (LT) is 2-3 days (1). However, this complex procedure may result in extended ICU stay due to secondary organ dysfunction and post-operative complications (2). Prolonged ICU admission is associated with worse patient outcomes, including mortality (3). Little UK data exists for exploring hospital outcomes of LT recipients with prolonged ICU admission (4).
Aim:
To review patient and hospital characteristics of LT recipients, requiring prolonged ICU admission, at a specialist UK transplant centre.
