Perioperative Protocols, Enhanced Recovery, and Organ-Specific Anesthetic Management in Transplantation

This Research Topic addresses the practical and clinical dimensions of perioperative anaesthetic care in organ transplantation, with particular attention to protocol standardisation, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), hemostasis management, and the evaluation of organ preservation innovations. Contributions are sought that examine current variability in perioperative practices for kidney, liver, and multivisceral transplantation, and propose evidence-based strategies to reduce this variability and improve patient outcomes.The collection welcomes work on ERAS protocol innovation, optimisation of anaesthesia in vulnerable populations such as elderly recipients and patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome, and the role of regional anaesthesia and multimodal approaches in facilitating recovery. The topic particularly invites submissions on and evigoal-directed hemostasis strategies and coagulation management in the transplant setting, including research on fibrinogen concentrate utilisation dence-based approaches to optimising perioperative coagulation.The topic also seeks contributions evaluating novel organ preservation techniques and technologies, with specific interest in research addressing organ perfusion pump systems and their role in improving graft quality and patient outcomes. Additionally, the collection invites ethical and systems-level perspectives on how perioperative care pathways—including hemostasis protocols and preservation strategies—can be adapted to diverse resource settings. Together, these contributions will form a practical and forward-looking guide for transplant anesthesiologists worldwide.
