Portal Blood Flushes in the Peri-Reperfusion Stage of Liver Transplantation

Completed

Conditions studied: Liver Disease

In brief

By showing that increased levels of acidotic metabolites and electrolytes in the systemic blood of patients who do not receive portal blood flush prior to reperfusion compared to patients who do receive portal blood flush, and that these increased levels correlate with cardiac depression as seen on TEE, the investigators hope to find a superior technique for liver reperfusion.
