ÖZET
 Son dönem karaciğer yetmezliği bulunan hastalar, sıklıkla birden fazla kronik hastalığı bulunan ve organlarında fizyolojik bozuklukları olan hastalardır. Bu hastalarda malnütrisyon, sarılık, kanama bozuklukları, elektrolit dengesizlikleri, enfeksiyon, nörolojik semptomlar, uzamış hastane yatışları gibi klinik durumlar söz konusu olabilmektedir. Ameliyat öncesi dönemde nakil listesinde uzun bekleme süreci de hastaların klinik durumunu daha da ağırlaştırabilmektedir. Ayrıca donör kriterlerinin, son yıllarda eskisine kıyasla çok daha genişletilmiş olması çoklu hastalığı olan bireyleri donör olabilir hâle getirmiştir. Bu durum, alıcının ameliyat sonrası klinik durumunu daha da kritik hâle getirmektedir. Büyük bir cerrahi girişim olan karaciğer naklinin riskleri, bu faktörler ile birleştiğinde ameliyat sonrası dönemde yönetimi zor olan bir süreç ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu nedenle karaciğer nakli yapılan hastaların, ameliyat sonrası yoğun bakım izlemi ve hemşirelik bakımı kritik önem taşımaktadır. Bu makalede, karaciğer nakli yapılan hastanın yoğun bakım sürecine yer verilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Karaciğer nakli; hemşirelik bakımı; postoperatif bakım; yoğun bakım
ABSTRACT
 Patients who have end-stage liver failure are often patients with more than one chronic disease and physiological disorders in their organs. These patients may have clinical conditions such as malnutrition, jaundice, bleeding disorders, electrolyte imbalances, infection, neurological symptoms, prolonged hospitalizations. The long waiting period in the transplant list in the preoperative period may also worsen the clinical condition of the patients. In addition, the donor criteria have been expanded in recent years compared to the past has made individuals with multiple diseases become donors. This situation, combined with the risks of liver transplant, which is already a major surgical intervention, reveals a process that is difficult to manage in the postoperative period. Therefore, post-operative intensive care followup and nursing care is critical for patients who have had a liver transplant. In this article, intensive care process of liver transplant patient is given.
