Improvements in perioperative care, namely, organ preservation solutions, immunosuppression, and increased experience of surgical, anesthetic, and intensive care teams, have contributed to the success of pancreas transplantation. The objective of this study was to present data on anesthesia for pancreas transplantation alone (PTA) or simultaneous with kidney (SPKT), evaluating crystalloid, albumin and blood component infusions, graft ischemic times, and weights and ages of recipient. We evaluated patients undergoing SPKT (n=73), PTA (n=49), or SPKT with kidney living donor (n=8). Aggressive monitoring and therapy were used to avoid hypoperfusion, optimized with intravenous fluids, vasoative drugs, and correction of metabolic disturbances. Three SPKT patients were not extubated at the end of surgery. There were no other complications related to anesthesia in any patient. Although it is a high-risk surgery, PTA or SPKT is routine in our practice. Adequate perioperative care is important not only for the safety of the procedure but also for graft viability, contributing to a promising long-term treatment of insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
