Lake, MD John O’Grady 7.5 CME Credits / 6 Contact Hours The overall goals of the course are to enhance understanding of

up-to-date integrated care of the graft and patient during the first three months and to determine if management strategies should change with extended survival. The course will initially take a focused view of the first three months after liver transplantation which remains the time period of highest risk to graft and patient. This section will deal with: The critical definition of the role of intensive care after liver transplantation The management of specific complications subject to evolving attitudes to management The re-evaluation of diagnostic paradigms for common but non-specific patterns of graft dysfunction The second part of the course will address the issue of survival into the second decade after transplantations and beyond. This is in response to the rapidly increasing number of patients entering this phase and the lack of attention this had received in educational symposia.
