Abstract:
Orthotopic liver transplantation requires close hemodynamic monitoring. Technological advances provide new possibilities of improving this monitoring. The most recent devices are the mixed venous oxygen saturation catheter, which gives continuous SVO2 values, and the right ejection fraction catheter used discontinuously. Our experience of 100 liver transplantations has enabled us to investigate the advantages of these catheters over the conventional Swan Ganz catheters.
