Thoracic Fluid Content and Acute Lung Injury

N/ACompletedNCT01922557

National Taiwan University Hospital22 enrolled

Overview

To study the association of the thoracic fluid content and acute lung injury during liver transplantation.

Acute lung injury is not uncommon after liver transplantation. A new monitor non-invasive cardiac output monitor (NICOM) is designed to measure thoracic fluid content. The investigators attempt to use the parameter thoracic fluid content to investigate its relationship with acute lung injury in liver transplant recipients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Cardiac index

Participants will be followed for the duration the operation. Cardiac index was measured by non-invasive cardiac output monitor at different time points as baseline(T1), anhepatic phase(T2), 30 mins after reperfusion(T3) and 2 hrs after reperfusion(T4)

Time frame: one day

Secondary Outcomes

Thoracic fluid content

Participants will be followed for the duration the operation.Thoracic fluid content was measured in liver transplant recipients at different time points as baseline(T1), anhepatic phase(T2), 30 mins after reperfusion(T3) and 2 hrs after reperfusion(T4).

Time frame: one day
