Abstract
A 56-years-old Caucasian male weighing 87 kg was admitted to the Transplant Unit for a cadaver kidney transplant. He has been on haemodialysis for the past 14 months. The results of his cardiac screening tests were satisfactory and are all in date (within the past 18 months). He last had haemodialysis 2 days ago. There was no recent history or symptoms suggestive of new onset cardiac co-morbidity. On examination his chest was clear and he had no ankle swellings. He had raised internal jugular venous pulse, but was otherwise well. ECG showed mild left ventricular strain. It is important to check that by the scheduled starting time of surgery, the patient would have fasted for more than 4 hours.
