Liver transplant surgery significantly disrupts patient homeostasis, particularly during liver revascularization. Hemodynamic and biochemical parameters change markedly, highlighting critical intraoperative management needs.

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation Surgery
  • Anesthesiology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Liver transplantation is a complex procedure with significant physiological demands.
  • Maintaining patient homeostasis during organ transplantation is crucial for successful outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the hemodynamic and biochemical changes during liver transplantation.
  • To identify the period of greatest physiological disturbance in liver transplant recipients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 13 liver transplant patients.
  • Standardized anesthetic technique and extensive intraoperative monitoring.
  • Frequent biochemical and hematological profiling.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Patient homeostasis is most disturbed during donor liver revascularization.
  • Revascularization caused marked changes in hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, cardiac index, heart rate, filling pressures).
  • Significant intraoperative changes observed in pH, potassium levels, and coagulation/fibrinolysis profiles.

Conclusions:

  • Revascularization is the most critical phase for hemodynamic and biochemical instability in liver transplantation.
  • Close monitoring and management of coagulation, electrolytes, and acid-base balance are essential.
  • Maintaining normal patient temperature throughout the procedure is achievable.
