Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the gold standard treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease. Understanding of the multisystem physiology of end stage liver desease (ESLD) is fundamental to the management of transplant recipient. Since OLT is a very dynamic process, a multidisciplinary approach and optimization is essential in the perioperative period. During the management anesthesiologists should focus on significant hemodynamic instability, physiology, metabolic disturbance and coagulopathy of those patients. The aim of this review was to summarize peroperative and anesthesia management in line with the guidelines.
