Predicting stroke volume and arterial pressure fluid responsiveness in liver cirrhosis patients using dynamic preload variables: A prospective study of diagnostic accuracy
The objective was to evaluate SV and arterial pressure fluid responsiveness in liver cirrhosis patients by using dynamic preload and vascular tone variables. DESIGN: A prospective study of diagnostic accuracy. SETTINGS: A single-centre trial conducted from November 2013 to April 2015. PATIENTS: Thirty-one adult patients, recipients of a living donor liver transplantat. INTERVENTION: An intraoperative fluid challenge with 10 ml kg−1 of 0.9% normal saline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: PPV, SVV, cardiac index and systemic vascular resistance index were measured using the Pulse index Continuous cardiac system. The PVI and...

Effect of norepinephrine on blood volume, cardiac output, and systemic filling pressure in patients undergoing liver transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: The norepinephrine infusion at 0.1 μg-1 kg-1 min-1 is associated with an increase in CO in patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing liver transplantation. Norepinephrine's effect on CO was primarily attributable to an increase in venous return due to an increase in mean systemic filling pressure.PMID:35833856 | DOI:10.23736/S0375-9393.22.16526-0
