Inferior Vena Cava Index in Patients Undergoing Liver Resection

University of Milan91 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether IVC index measured intraoperatively was affected by fluid administration and could add any helpful information about the hemodynamics during hepatic resection. In addition, the investigators evaluated whether IVC index was somehow correlated with the risk of postoperative complication.

Interventions

IVC diameters evaluation by intraoperative ultrasoundOTHER

Out of consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy for primary and secondary liver tumors, patients in whom IVC diameters were intraoperatively measured for clinical reasons were retrospectively selected and analyzed
