Usually, the Left Kidney is taken from the Donor &
placed on the Right side of the Recipient
4. A healthy person
Not a patient, Rather a rescuer
So, morbidity is not accepted
Anaesthesia
FOR THE DONOR
caution
17. Donor Anaesthesia (Continued)
Go through the P/A check up form with care
Personalise the monitors as per patient’s profiles

Catheterisation of bladder (bag in head-end)
48. Recipient Anaesthesia (Continued)
Consider an arterial line (in cardiac disease) to
Dorsalis Pedis or Post Tibial - opposite to the transplant side
Correlate with the NIBP & get a baseline ABG (1st ABG)
Avoid Radial A. (keep it for AVF in future if necessary)
Insert a Central line by guidance of USG in
Right IJV - prior rule out thrombus by USG scan
Left IJV - if there is a Perm Cath

reperfusion of the new kidney
55. Sequences of vessels’ clamping
& Anastomosis
IN DONOR:
Ureter
Artery
Vein
IN RECIPIENT:
Vein
Artery
Ureter
56. Recipient Anaesthesia (Continued)
2nd ABG
When the renal artery is clamped on the donor
Once the donor kidney comes packed in ice into
the OT, the following medications are to be
administered over 30-40 min
Methyl Prednisolone - 7.5 mg/kg (usually 500 mg for adult)
- in pump
20% Mannitol - 100 ml
Frusemide - 80 mg (in paediatric patient 1.3 mg/kg)
57. Recipient Anaesthesia (Continued)
Ensure that temperature does not drop (34-35C)
Note the time of
Kidney placement in the body
3rd ABG: When anastomosis is started
End of anastomosis
4th ABG: 5 min after release of clamp
(reperfusion) - Watch for rise of K+
59. Recipient Anaesthesia (Continued)
After anastomosis
Increase rate of I/V fluid administration
Target CVP is minimum 10-12 cmH2O
BP maintainance
In hypertensives: Target MAP 95-110 mgHg

In normotensives: Target MAP Closed to preoperative
values
61. Recipient Anaesthesia (Continued)
Attempting to reversal
Reduce dose of Atracurium once reperfusion is
over
Once muscle layer is over, stop Atracurium
infusion, aspirate and flush the line to clear the
drug

note the time in proforma
Warm the patient
62. Recipient Anaesthesia (Continued)

0.25% Plain Bupi 10 ml in incision line & drain site
Watch for urine output, K+ & signs for acute
rejection
If urine output is <2 ml/kg/hr Consider elective
ventilation for few hrs or overnight
Hb% if <7 gm/dL, consider leukocyte filtered PRBC
Bleeding Consider tranexamic acid/cryoprecipitate
Reverse with Neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg +
Glycopyrolate 10 mcg/kg
63. Recipient Anaesthesia (Continued)
