Our Infraclavicular Block Experience in a Case with Behcet's Disease who Underwent Liver Transplantation
Abstract
Number of transplantations increase every day, and thus anaesthetists encounter patients who were transplanted after transplantation more often. Like liver transplant, immunosuppression and various anaesthetic problems are important for patients after other transplantations, too. This article presents our infraclavicular block experience along with literature in a case with a patient who has Behcet's disease, an immunosuppressive disease, and was transplanted with a liver.
