Abstract
Our goal was to assess the coagulation profile in the immediate postoperative time after major liver surgery and its association with the liver function. Our hypothesis is that a decreased synthesis of the coagulation factor levels reflects an impaired liver synthesis following hepatic resection and will be associated with poor outcomes. This is a prospective, observational study recruiting consecutive patients scheduled for major liver resection in a tertiary hospital. Coagulation profile was assessed by conventional assays, viscoelastic assays and coagulation factor levels preoperatively and, on postoperative days 1, 2 and 6. Factor VIII to protein C (FVIII/PC) ratio has been used as a surrogate marker of hemostatic imbalance. Liver function was measured with conventional and indocyanine green (ICG) clearance tests, which were obtained preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 and 2. Sixty patients were recruited and 51 were included in the study. There is a clear increase in FVIII/PC ratio after surgery, which was significantly associated with low liver function, being more pronounced beyond postoperative day 2 and in patients with poorer liver function ( P < 0.001). High FVIII/PC ratio values were significantly associated with higher postoperative morbidity, prolonged ICU and hospital stay and less survival ( P < 0.05). High FVIII/PC ratio on postoperative day 2 was found to be predictor of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF; area under the ROC curve = 0.8129). Early postoperative high FVIII/PC ratio values are associated with low liver function, PHLF and poorer outcomes in patients undergoing major hepatic resection.

Abstract
Intraoperative factors implicated in postoperative mortality after liver transplantation (LT) are poorly understood. Because LT is a particularly demanding procedure, we hypothesized that intraoperative myocardial injury may be frequent and independently associated with early postoperative outcomes. We aimed to determine the association between intraoperative high-sensitivity troponin (hsTn) elevation during LT and 30-day postoperative mortality. A total of 203 adult patients undergoing LT were prospectively included in the cohort and followed during 1 year. Advanced hemodynamic parameters and serial high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) measurements were assessed at 6 intraoperative time points. The optimal hsTnT cutoff level for intraoperative troponin elevation (ITE) was identified. Patients were classified into 2 groups according to the presence of ITE. Independent impact of ITE on survival was assessed through survival curves and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Intraoperative cardiac function was compared between groups. Troponin levels increased early during surgery in the ITE group. Troponin values at abdominal closure were associated with 30-day mortality (area under the receiver operating caracteristic curve, [AUROC], 0.73; P = 0.005). Patients with ITE showing values of hsTnT ≥61 ng/L at abdominal closure presented higher 30-day mortality (29.6% versus 3.4%; P < 0.001). ITE was independently associated with 30-day mortality (hazard ratio, 3.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-13.8; P = 0.04) and with worse overall intraoperative cardiac function. The hsTnT upper reference limit showed no discriminant capacity during LT. Intraoperative myocardial injury identified by hsTn elevation is frequently observed during LT, and it is associated with myocardial dysfunction and short-term mortality. Determinations of hsTn may serve as a valuable intraoperative monitoring tool during LT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There currently exist no quantitative methods to assess graft viability before the donor procurement procedure. In Europe, around 20% of liver grafts evaluated "in situ" by an experienced surgeon are discarded. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of the plasma disappearance rate indocyanine green (PDR-ICG) clearance in predicting liver graft rejection to avoid this 20% of futile surgeries. OBJECTIVES To evaluate PDR-ICG as a predictor of liver graft rejection in death brain donors compared with the gold standard evaluation by an experienced surgeon. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective observational single center study. From March 2017 to July 2019, 29 donors were included in the study, 17 were men and 12 women with a median age of 68 years ± 16.9 years. Donors had an intensive care unit stay of 2 days ± 4 days. PDR-ICG was measured with PICCO2 monitor. Indocyanine green clearance dose was 0.25 mg/kg injected intravenously in the operating room just before donor procurement procedure is initiated. The surgeon was unaware of the PDR-ICG measure until the decision of graft acceptance was taken. Data regarding the donors and biopsy results were included in a prospective database. RESULTS PDR-ICG measure could be obtained in 10 minutes in all of the cases included. The median PDR-ICG obtained was 18%/min (range, 2.4-31%/min). Graft rejection took place in 15 out of the 29 donors. PDR-ICG value was less than 10%/min in 6 of these rejected grafts and less than 15%/min in 10 donors. All donor grafts with PDR-ICG <15% were discarded. The graft had been discarded in 5 donors with a PDR-ICG >15%. CONCLUSIONS In our study a plasma disappearance rate <10 would have identified the grafts that would be rejected, thus avoiding the displacement work and expense of the surgical team. These results should be confirmed in a multicentric study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung resection surgery (LRS), such as video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS), has increased in recent years. However, there is little information about the best anesthetic technique in this context. This surgical approach is associated with a lower intensity of postoperative pain, and its use has been proposed in programs for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). This study compares the severity of postoperative complications in patients undergoing LRS who have received lidocaine intraoperatively either intravenously or via paravertebral administration versus saline. METHODS/DESIGN We will conduct a single-center randomized controlled trial involving 153 patients undergoing LRS through a thoracoscopic approach. The patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following study groups: intravenous lidocaine with more paravertebral thoracic (PVT) saline, PVT lidocaine with more intravenous saline, or intravenous remifentanil with more PVT saline. The primary outcome will be the comparison of the postoperative course through Clavien-Dindo classification. Furthermore, we will compare the perioperative pulmonary and systemic inflammatory response by monitoring biomarkers in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood, as well as postoperative analgesic consumption between the three groups of patients. We will use an ANOVA to compare quantitative variables and a chi-squared test to compare qualitative variables. DISCUSSION The development of less invasive surgical techniques means that anesthesiologists must adapt their perioperative management protocols and look for anesthetic techniques that provide good analgesic quality and allow rapid rehabilitation of the patient, as proposed in the ERAS protocols. The administration of a continuous infusion of intravenous lidocaine has proven to be useful and safe for the management of other types of surgery, as demonstrated in colorectal cancer. We want to know whether the continuous administration of lidocaine by a paravertebral route can be substituted with the intravenous administration of this local anesthetic in a safe and effective way while avoiding the risks inherent in the use of regional anesthetic techniques. In this way, this technique could be used in a safe and effective way in ERAS programs for pulmonary resection. TRIAL REGISTRATION EudraCT, 2016-004271-52; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03905837 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) after liver transplantation (LT) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. To ensure adequate graft function, a critical hepatocellular mass is required in addition to an appropriate blood supply. We hypothesized that intraoperative measurement of portal venous and hepatic arterial flow may serve as a predictor in the diagnosis of EAD.
AIM To study whether hepatic flow is an independent predictor of EAD following LT.
METHODS This is an observational cohort study in a single institution. Hepatic arterial blood flow and portal venous blood flow were measured intraoperatively by transit flow. EAD was defined using the Olthoff criteria. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the intraoperative predictors of EAD. Survival analysis and prognostic factor analysis were performed using the Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models.
RESULTS A total of 195 liver transplant procedures were performed between January 2008 and December 2014 in 188 patients. A total of 54 (27.7%) patients developed EAD. The median follow-up was 39 mo. Portal venous flow, hepatic arterial flow (HAF) and total hepatic arterial flow were associated with EAD in both the univariate and multivariate analyses. HAF is an independent prognostic factor for 30-d patient mortality.
CONCLUSION Intraoperative measurement of blood flow after reperfusion appears to be a predictor of EAD; Moreover, HAF should be considered a predictor of 30-d patient mortality.

Abstract
Liver ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a serious clinical problem affecting liver transplantation outcomes. IRI causes up to 10% of early organ failure and predisposes to chronic rejection. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in different liver diseases, but the significance of COX-2 in IRI is a matter of controversy. This study was designed to elucidate the role of COX-2 induction in hepatocytes against liver IRI. In the present work, hepatocyte-specific COX-2 transgenic mice (hCOX-2-Tg) and their wild-type (Wt) littermates were subjected to IRI. hCOX-2-Tg mice exhibited lower grades of necrosis and inflammation than Wt mice, in part by reduced hepatic recruitment and infiltration of neutrophils, with a concomitant decrease in serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Moreover, hCOX-2-Tg mice showed a significant attenuation of the IRI-induced increase in oxidative stress and hepatic apoptosis, an increase in autophagic flux, and a decrease in endoplasmic reticulum stress compared to Wt mice. Interestingly, ischemic preconditioning of Wt mice resembles the beneficial effects observed in hCOX-2-Tg mice against IRI due to a preconditioning-derived increase in endogenous COX-2, which is mainly localized in hepatocytes. Furthermore, measurement of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) levels in plasma from patients who underwent liver transplantation revealed a significantly positive correlation of PGE2 levels and graft function and an inverse correlation with the time of ischemia. Conclusion: These data support the view of a protective effect of hepatic COX-2 induction and the consequent rise of derived prostaglandins against IRI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Maturity Assessment Model in Patient Blood Management project involves the use of a matrix that evaluates the maturity of the centre as regards blood transfusion practice. This tool includes a questionnaire to be completed by physicians to determine their level of knowledge of patient blood management strategies in their centre. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty one hospitals took part in the Maturity Assessment Model in Patient Blood Management project in 2016. The questionnaire included 10 questions, 3 about the centre, specialty, and years of experience, and 7 about patient blood management protocols in the respondent's centre. The minimum responses required per centre was calculated according to the number of beds. Responses from at least 3 different specialties were required in order to be evaluated. RESULTS A total of 1403 questionnaires were completed. The specialty with the highest completion rate was anaesthesiology (40.9%). The distribution as regards professional experience was homogeneous: <10 years, 33.4%, 10-20 years, 33%, and> 20 years 33.6%. Nearly three-quarters (74.2%) knew the patient blood management protocol used in their centre, and 60.7% knew the protocol for the treatment of pre-operative anaemia. Slightly fewer (72%) reported knowing the blood transfusion protocol (transfusion threshold) used in their centre, and 90% considered other factors besides haemoglobin in the decision to transfuse. Only 30.7% of professionals reported receiving periodic information on transfusion practices. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant lack of knowledge about preoperative anaemia and perioperative transfusion protocols used in the centres polled. Few centres provide their physicians with information on transfusion practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increase in indications for liver transplantation has led to acceptance of donors with expanded criteria. The donor risk index (DRI) was validated with the aim of being a predictive model of graft survival based on donor characteristics. Intraoperative arterial hepatic flow and indocyanine green clearance (plasma clearance rate of indocyanine green [ICG-PDR]) are easily measurable variables in the intraoperative period that may be influenced by graft quality. Our aim was to analyze the influence of DRI on intraoperative liver hemodynamic alterations and on intraoperative dynamic liver function testing (ICG-PDR). METHODS This investigation was an observational study of a single-center cohort (n = 228) with prospective data collection and retrospective data analysis. Measurement of intraoperative flow was made with a VeriQ flowmeter based on measurement of transit time (MFTT). The ICG-PDR was obtained from all patients with a LiMON monitor (Pulsion Medical Systems AG, Munich, Germany). DRI was calculated using a previously validated formula. Normally distributed variables were compared using Student's t test. Otherwise, the Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis test was applied, depending on whether there were 2 or more comparable groups. The qualitative variables and risk measurements were analyzed using the chi-square test. P < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS DRI score (mean ± SD) was 1.58 ± 0.31. The group with DRI >1.7 (poor quality) had an intraoperative arterial flow of 234.2 ± 121.35 mL/min compared with the group having DRI < 1.7 (high quality), with an intraoperative arterial flow of 287.24 ± 156.84 mL/min (P = .02). The group with DRI >1.70 had an ICG-PDR of 14.75 ± 6.52%/min at 60 minutes after reperfusion compared to the group with DRI <1.70, with an ICG-PDR of 16.68 ± 6.47%/min at 60 minutes after reperfusion (P = .09). CONCLUSION Poor quality grafts have greater susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion damage. Decreased intraoperative hepatic arterial flow may represent an increase in intrahepatic resistance early in the intraoperative period.

Abstract
Introduction In last few years, emphasis was placed in goal-directed therapy in order to optimize patient's hemodynamic status and improve their prognosis. Parameters based on the interaction between heart and lungs have been questioned in situations like low tidal volume and open chest surgery. The goal of the study was to analyze the changes that one-lung ventilation can produce over stroke volume variation and to assess the possible impact of airway pressures and lung compliance over stroke volume variation. Methods Prospective observational study, 112 patients undergoing lung resection surgery with one-lung ventilation periods were included. Intravenous fluid therapy with crystalloids was set at 2 mL.g−1. Hypotension episodes were treated with vasoconstrictive drugs. Two-lung Ventilation was implemented with a TV of 8 mL.g−1 and one-lung ventilation was managed with a TV of 6 mL.g−1. Invasive blood pressure was monitored. We recorded the following cardiorespiratory values: heart rate, mean arterial pressure, cardiac index, stroke volume index, airway peak pressure, airway plateau pressure and static lung compliance at 3 different times during surgery: immediately after lung collapse, 30 min after initiating one-lung ventilation and after restoration of two-lung ventilation. Results Stroke volume variation values were influenced by lung collapse (before lung collapse 14.6 (DS) vs. OLV 9.9% (DS), p < 0.0001); or after restoring two-lung ventilation (11.01 (DS), p < 0.0001). During two-lung Ventilation there was a significant correlation between airway pressures and stroke volume variation, however this correlation lacks during one-lung ventilation. Conclusion The decrease of stroke volume variation values during one-lung ventilation with protective ventilatory strategies advices not to use the same threshold values to determine fluid responsiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Neuromuscular relaxants are essential during general anesthesia for several procedures. Classical anesthesiology literature indicates that the use of neuromuscular blockade in thoracic surgery may be deleterious in patients in lateral decubitus position in one-lung ventilation. The primary objective of our study was to compare respiratory function according to the degree of patient neuromuscular relaxation. Secondary, we wanted to check that neuromuscular blockade during one-lung ventilation is not deleterious. METHODS A prospective, longitudinal observational study was made in which each patient served as both treated subject and control. 76 consecutive patients programmed for lung resection surgery in Gregorio Marañon Hospital along the year of 2013 who required one-lung ventilation in lateral decubitus were included. Ventilator data, hemodynamic parameters were registered in different moments according to train-of-four response (intense, deep and moderate blockade) during one-lung ventilation. RESULTS Peak, plateau and mean pressures were significantly lower during the intense and deep blockade. Besides, compliance and peripheral oxygen saturation were significantly higher in those moments. Heart rate was significantly higher during deep blockade. No mechanical ventilation parameters were modified during measurements. CONCLUSIONS Deep neuromuscular blockade attenuates the poor lung mechanics observed during one-lung ventilation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Portal vein embolization is performed weeks before extended hepatic resections to increase the future liver remnant and prevent posthepatectomy liver failure. Portal vein embolization performed closer to the operation also could be protective, but worsening of portal hyper-perfusion is a major concern. We determined the hepatic hemodynamic effects of a portal vein embolization performed 24 hours prior to hepatic operation. METHODS An extended (90%) hepatectomy was performed in swine undergoing (portal vein embolization) or not undergoing (control) a portal vein embolization 24 hours earlier (n = 10/group). Blood tests, hepatic and systemic hemodynamics, hepatic function (plasma disappearance rate of indocyanine green), liver histology, and volumetry (computed tomographic scanning) were assessed before and after the hepatectomy. Hepatocyte proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression and hepatic gene expression also were evaluated. RESULTS Swine in the control and portal vein embolization groups maintained stable systemic hemodynamics and developed similar increases of portal blood flow (302 ± 72% vs 486 ± 92%, P = .13). Portal pressure drastically increased in Controls (from 9.4 ± 1.3 mm Hg to 20.9 ± 1.4 mm Hg, P < .001), while being markedly attenuated in the portal vein embolization group (from 11.4 ± 1.5 mm Hg to 16.1 ± 1.3 mm Hg, P = .061). The procedure also improved the preservation of the hepatic artery blood flow, liver function, and periportal edema. These effects occurred in the absence of hepatocyte proliferation or hepatic growth and were associated with the induction of the vasoprotective gene Klf2. CONCLUSION Portal vein embolization preconditioning represents a potential hepato-protective strategy for extended hepatic resections. Further preclinical studies should assess its medium-term effects, including survival. Our study also supports the relevance of hepatic hemodynamics as the main pathogenetic factor of post-hepatectomy liver failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung resection surgery is associated with an inflammatory reaction. The use of 1-lung ventilation (OLV) seems to increase the likelihood of this reaction. Different prophylactic and therapeutic measures have been investigated to prevent lung injury secondary to OLV. Lidocaine, a commonly used local anesthetic drug, has antiinflammatory activity. Our main goal in this study was to investigate the effect of IV lidocaine on tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) lung expression during lung resection surgery with OLV. METHODS Eighteen pigs underwent left caudal lobectomy. The animals were divided into 3 groups: control, lidocaine, and sham. All animals received general anesthesia. In addition, animals in the lidocaine group received a continuous IV infusion of lidocaine during surgery (1.5 mg/kg/h). Animals in the sham group only underwent thoracotomy. Samples of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and plasma were collected before initiation of OLV, at the end of OLV, at the end of surgery, and 24 hours after surgery. Lung biopsy specimens were collected from the left caudal lobe (baseline) before surgery and from the mediastinal lobe and the left cranial lobe 24 hours after surgery. Samples were flash-frozen and stored to measure levels of the following inflammatory markers: interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-2, IL-10, TNF-α, nuclear factor κB, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Markers of apoptosis (caspase 3, caspase 9, Bad, Bax, and Bcl-2) were also measured. In addition, levels of metalloproteinases and nitric oxide metabolites were determined in BAL fluid and in plasma samples. A nonparametric test was used to examine statistical significance. RESULTS OLV caused lung damage with increased TNF-α expression in BAL, plasma, and lung samples. Other inflammatory (IL-1β, nuclear factor κB, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) and apoptosis (caspase 3, caspase 9, and BAX) markers were also increased. With the use of IV lidocaine there was a significant decrease in the levels of TNF-α in the same samples compared with the control group. Lidocaine administration also reduced the inflammatory and apoptotic changes observed in the control group. Hemodynamic values, blood gas values, and airway pressure were similar in all groups. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that lidocaine can prevent OLV-induced lung injury through reduced expression of proinflammatory cytokines and lung apoptosis. Administration of lidocaine may help to prevent lung injury during lung surgery with OLV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver transplantation (LT) implies hemodynamic instability, making invasive monitoring of cardiac output (CO) mandatory. Intermittent thermodilution with pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) remains the clinical gold standard to measure CO. The agreement between PAC and new monitoring methods in LT needs to be further investigated. Our aim is to clarify whether cardiac index (CI) measurements with transpulmonary intermittent thermodilution, and continuous pulmonary thermodilution methods agree sufficiently with those performed intermittently with PAC to be considered interchangeable during LT. METHODS We studied prospectively hemodynamic parameters of 72 consecutive patients undergoing LT. Each CI was obtained simultaneously with three different techniques: intermittent (PACi) and continuous (CCI) pulmonary artery thermodilution with PAC, and intermittent transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) with PiCCO2 in 8 time points of the procedure, obtaining 1350 paired measurements. Exclusion criteria was retransplantation. The statistical Bland Altman method for repeated measures was used to assess agreement, and polar plot methodology to evaluate trending ability. RESULTS Analysis of agreement between PACi and TPTD measurements (N.=474 paired measurements) showed a bias of -0.42 L/min/m2, 95% limits of agreement (95%LoA) of ±1.5 L/min/m2 and percentage error of 45%. PACi-CCI comparisons (N.=431) showed bias of -0.02 L/min/m2, 95%LoA of ±1.96 L/min/m2, and percentage error of 64%. These results demonstrated questionable clinical agreement between PACi and TPTD, and no agreement between PACi and CCI. TPTD and CCI showed poor CO trending ability. CONCLUSION Continuous pulmonary thermodilution with PAC is not an alternative monitoring method of CO. Transpulmonary thermodilution CO monitoring with PiCCO2 shows too questionable agreement with the clinical gold standard (PACi) being in the limit of acceptance to be considered interchangeable during liver transplantation.

Abstract
The "small-for-size" syndrome and "post-hepatectomy liver failure" refers to the development of liver failure (hyperbilirubinemia, coagulopathy, encephalopathy and refractory ascites) resulting from the reduction of liver mass beyond a certain threshold. This complication is associated with a high mortality and is a major concern in liver transplantation involving reduced liver grafts from deceased and living donors as well as in hepatic surgeries involving extended resections of liver mass. The limiting threshold for liver resection or transplantation is currently predicted based on the mass of the remnant liver (or donor graft) in relation to the body weight of the patient, with a ratio above 0.8 being considered safe. This approach, however, has proved inaccurate, because some patients develop the "small-for-size" syndrome despite complying with the "safe" threshold while other patients who surpass the threshold do not develop it. We hypothesize that the development of the "small-for-size" syndrome is not exclusively determined by the ratio of the mass of the liver remnant (or graft) to the body weight, but it is instead strictly determined by the hemodynamic parameters of the hepatic circulation. This hypothesis is based in recent clinical and experimental reports showing that relative portal hyperperfusion is a critical factor in the development of the "small-for-size" syndrome and that maneuvers that manipulate the hepatic vascular inflow are able to prevent the development of the syndrome despite liver-to-body weight ratios well below the "limiting" threshold. Measurements of hepatic blood flow and pressure, however, are not routinely performed in hepatic surgeries. Focusing on the "flow" rather than in the "size" may improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of the "small-for-size" syndrome and "post-hepatectomy liver failure" and it would have important implications for the clinical management of patients at risk. First, hepatic hemodynamic parameters would have to be measured in hepatic surgeries. Second, these parameters (in addition to liver mass) would be the principal basis for deciding the "safe" threshold of viable liver parenchyma. Third, the hepatic hemodynamic parameters are amenable to manipulation and, consequently, the "safe" threshold may also be manipulated. Shifting the paradigm from "small-for-size" to "small-for-flow" syndrome would thus represent a major step for optimizing the use of donor livers, for expanding the indications of hepatic surgery, and for increasing the safety of these procedures.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of graft dysfunction in liver transplantation is essential for taking appropriate action. Indocyanine green clearance is closely related to liver function and can be measured noninvasively by spectrophotometry. The objectives of this study were to prospectively analyze the relationship between the indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate (ICGPDR) and early graft function after liver transplantation and to evaluate the role of ICGPDR in the prediction of severe graft dysfunction (SGD). One hundred seventy-two liver transplants from deceased donors were analyzed. Ten patients had SGD: 6 were retransplanted, and 4 died while waiting for a new graft. The plasma disappearance rate was measured 1 hour (PDRr60) and within the first 24 hours (PDR1) after reperfusion, and it was significantly lower in the SGD group. PDRr60 and PDR1 were excellent predictors of SGD. A threshold PDRr60 value of 10.8%/minute and a PDR1 value of 10%/minute accurately predicted SGD with areas under the receiver operating curve of 0.94 (95% confidence interval, 0.89-0.97) and 0.96 (95% confidence interval, 0.92-0.98), respectively. In addition, survival was significantly lower in patients with PDRr60 values below 10.8%/minute (53%, 47%, and 47% versus 95%, 94%, and 90% at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively) and with PDR1 values below 10%/minute (62%, 62%, and 62% versus 94%, 92%, and 88%). In conclusion, very early noninvasive measurement of ICGPDR can accurately predict early severe graft dysfunction and mortality after liver transplantation.

Abstract
This observational study compared femoral and radial arterial blood pressure in 72 patients undergoing liver transplant surgery. Simultaneous femoral and radial arterial blood pressures, cardiac index, core temperature and vasoconstrictor therapy were recorded at seven time points during the operation. No significant differences between radial and femoral pressures were found at the start of surgery. Femoral and radial systolic arterial blood pressures were statistically significantly different during liver reperfusion (mean (SD) arterial pressure = 92 (22) mmHg vs. 76 (22) mmHg, p < 0.01). Mean arterial blood pressures showed no statistically significant differences throughout the study. Vasoconstrictor drug administration was associated with a larger systolic pressure difference between femoral and radial arteries (28 (24) mmHg in patients being given vasoconstrictor drugs vs. 9 (19) mmHg in patients not needing vasoconstrictors during reperfusion, p < 0.001). In conclusion, differences in systolic arterial blood pressure occur between femoral and radial arterial monitoring sites during liver reperfusion, and in particular in patients being given vasoconstrictor therapy. Thus, if femoral arterial monitoring is not available, clinicians should rely on mean rather than systolic arterial pressure measurements from a radial artery catheter during liver transplantation.

Abstract
Managing postoperative pain from thoracotomy is one of the greatest challenges anesthesiologists face in daily practice. Proper management is assumed to improve the patient's prognosis. The thoracic paravertebral block, following its rediscovery, is being used with increasing frequency and success for both surgery and recovery from thoracotomy, challenging the supremacy of thoracic epidural analgesia, which to date has been considered the gold standard. We describe the history, anatomy, techniques and complications of the thoracic paravertebral block and review published randomized controlled trials comparing the thoracic paravertebral block to placebo and to epidural analgesia. In view of published evidence, it seems that the thoracic paravertebral block may replace the thoracic epidural technique as the gold standard for providing analgesia for patients undergoing thoracotomy.

Abstract
A 30-year-old man bled massively from a stab wound that injured his liver and right kidney and entered a life-threatening cycle of transfusion, hypothermia, coagulopathy, and rebleeding in spite of surgery and aggressive resuscitation. He was given a single dose of recombinant activated factor VII (rVIIa; NovoSeven, Novo Nordisk, Denmark) in a final attempt to save his life. The patient responded favorably, as bleeding stopped almost immediately and coagulation markers became normal. Clinical course following rVIIa administration was good. Severe bleeding in the trauma patient needing massive transfusion can become complicated by dilutional coagulopathy and hypothermia. Therapy with rVIIa is a promising aid to controlling bleeding in the repeatedly transfused patient who does not respond to standard replacement of blood products.

Abstract
Autonomic neuropathy (AN), which is frequently observed in cirrhosis patients, has been associated with a higher mortality. We have prospectively evaluated the prevalence of AN, its relationship with the degree of liver dysfunction and circulatory disturbances, and the evolution of AN after liver transplantation (LT) in 62 end-stage liver cirrhosis patients. AN was evaluated by seven cardiovascular tests assessing sympathetic or parasympathetic function before and 6 months after LT. Patients were classified as showing absent (A), early (E), or definite dysfunction (D). AN appeared in 67.7% of cases (E: 24.2%, D: 43.5%) without relation to liver disease etiology. Parasympathetic dysfunction was more prevalent than sympathetic dysfunction (59.7% vs. 20.9%). AN was significantly related to Child-Pugh score. Hyperdynamic circulation was more marked in the D than the A group as shown by a greater cardiac output (CO)(9 vs. 7.3 L/min) and a lower peripheral resistance (SVR)(666 vs. 866 dyn.s.cm(-5)). Moreover, AN scores significantly correlated with CO and SVR. Overall the prevalence of AN decreased 6 months after LT (67.7% vs 48%) due to a significant reduction in definite AN (43.5 vs. 14.8%; P<.05). AN improved in 70% of cases after LT. Sympathetic dysfunction remained in only one patient. We conclude that AN is frequent in liver transplant candidates; its severity is associated with the degree of liver failure. Systemic circulatory disturbances seem to correlate with the severity of AN. AN is clearly improved by LT. The evaluation of AN may contribute to a better selection of LT recipients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION End-stage liver disease is frequently associated with autonomic neuropathy (AN). The hemodynamic changes during liver transplantation (LT) require an adequate autonomic response to maintain cardiovascular stability. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-one patients undergoing LT were evaluated for the influence of AN on the evolution after LT. AN was previously evaluated by seven cardiovascular tests assessing sympathetic (Sy) or parasympathetic (P) function. Patients were classified as absent (A), early (E), or definite dysfunction (D). A hemodynamic study was performed before and after vascular clampings. The analysis included the duration of LT, transfusion requirements, intra-operative artenal hypotensive episodes, incidence of postreperfusion syndrome (PRS), cardiac arrhythmias and vasoactive drug requirements. RESULTS The hyperdynamic circulation worsened during surgery in D patients, as shown by a significantly increased cardiac output and a significantly decreased systemic vascular resistance. The incidence of PRS was greater in the AN group. Arterial hypotension during the neohepatic period was more frequent among patients with AN, more frequently requiring vasoconstrictor and inotropic therapy. CONCLUSIONS AN is associated with hemodynamic impairment and with increased vasoactive drug requirements during liver transplantation, probably associated with impaired reflex vasoconstrictor responses to surgical manipulations and changes of blood volume. AN may be associated with a greater surgical risk during LT. Preoperative evaluation of AN may select a high-risk population of LT recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects that the use of general intravenous anesthesia (propofol-fentanyl) (GA) or general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia with meperidine (TEA-M) may have on arterial oxygenation during one-lung ventilation (OLV). DESIGN Prospective. SETTING Tertiary care hospital. PARTICIPANTS Seventy-two patients undergoing OLV for thoracic surgery. INTERVENTIONS Patients were prospectively randomized into two groups: GA (n = 37) fentanyl, propofol, rocuronium anesthesia was used; and group TEA-M (n = 35) were anesthetized with propofol, rocuronium and thoracic epidural meperidine (2 mg/kg in 10-12 mL) administered before anesthetic induction. A double-lumen endotracheal tube was inserted, and mechanical ventilation with 100% oxygen was used during study. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate and arterial and venous blood gases were recorded with the patients in the lateral decubitus position in three phases: during two-lung ventilation (TLV), 15 and 30 minutes after beginning OLV (OLV + 15 and OLV + 30 respectively). The authors measured arterial and venous central oxygen tension, arterial and venous central oxygen saturation, arterial and venous central oxygen content and venous admixture percentage (Qs/Qt%). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There were no statistical differences between the two groups for PaO(2) during OLV + 15 (GA = 165 mmHg, TEA-M = 153 mmHg) and OLV + 30 (GA = 176 mmHg, TEA-M = 158 mmHg); and with values for Qs/Qt%. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that GA combined with TEA-M (2 mg/kg) do not affect arterial oxygenation during OLV in thoracic surgery.

Abstract
Pulsion cold system (PCS, COLD) is a haemodynamic monitoring system that allows measurement of cardiac output (CO), partial blood volumes, lung water, and liver function. The aim of the study was to evaluate this monitoring system during human orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for the following: (a) to determine agreement between CO measurements via pulmonary artery thermodilution (CO TDpa), and aortic transpulmonary thermodilution (CO TDa); (b) to compare the preload dates obtained with the COLD with central venous pressure (CVP) and pulmonary capillary wedge (PCWP); and (c) to assess the use of the plasma disappearance rate (PDR) of indocyanine green (ICG) as a measure of graft function. Fifteen consecutive patients undergoing OLT were studied. Each patient received a pulmonary artery catheter and a 5F aortic catheter with an integrated thermistor. The thermistor of the aortic catheter were connected to one computer system (COLD-Z201, Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany). Haemodynamic data were registered an all the phases of OLT. PDR was measured during surgery in 12 patients. Correlations between PDR and the other markers of graft function (transaminases, protrombine time, and bile production) were sought. The correlation coefficient between CO TDa (COLD) and CO TDpa was r = 0.766 (p < 0.001), and an additional analysis according to Bland-Altman was also performed. There was a better correlation between the cardiac index (determined by two monitoring systems) and the volume measurements than the correlation observed with pressure preload parameters. The best correlations were found between the cardiac index in the femoral artery and intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) and pulmonary blood volume index (PBVI) (r = 0.79 and r = 0.72, respectively; p < 0.01). PDR measured in the group patients with bad early graft function were lower (13.6 +/- 2.7) than those in the group with a good graft function (21.6 +/- 9) (p < 0.05). The degree of discrepancy between femoral and pulmonary thermodilution cardiac output measures is very wide during OLT so as to make the techniques using the COLD machine clinically useless. On the other hand, the volumes measured by COLD, specially ITBVI and PBVI, are more useful to asses the pre-load than pressure measurements. In OLT, the PDR measured within the first few hours after liver reperfusion may become a useful tool for early diagnosis of primary graft dysfunction (PDF).

Abstract
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a frequent option in the treatment of liver diseases. During the cold ischemia period of the donor liver, there is an accumulation of metabolites that are potent inhibitors of the cytokine-inducible and endothelial nitric oxide synthase isoenzymes. We identified the presence of L-N-monomethylarginine and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as the main inhibitors by means of analytic high-pressure liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques. An average ADMA concentration of 450 micromol/L was measured in the preservation medium of donor livers with poor outcomes after OLT. A statistically significant relationship was observed between the concentration of methylated arginine derivatives in the graft and liver function after OLT. These data suggest that measurement of methylated arginine, released after liver protein catabolism, might provide an indication of functional status of the liver that can help the development of strategies intended to improve graft viability.

Abstract
Involvement of the nitric oxide (NO) system in complications following human orthotopic liver transplants (OLT) has been reported, but the contribution of the graft to the modulation of the NO system during reperfusion in normal OLT has not been characterized. We have studied the contribution of the graft efflux to the modulation of the NO system in 20 consecutive OLT. We evaluated its effects on isolated vascular reactivity of the rabbit and on rat cultured macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In none of the donor liver biopsies was expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activity by Northern or Western blot analysis found. Graft efflux after the onset of liver reperfusion, but not pre-transplant patient plasma, reversibly inhibited the acetylcholine-induced relaxation of norepinephrine-contracted rabbit aortic rings. Moreover, graft efflux reversibly inhibited NO production in rat macrophages treated with LPS, as evidenced by both a decrease in nitrite plus nitrate formation and a decrease in the production of [14C]citrulline from [14C]arginine. Addition of a 10% dilution of graft efflux to cultured rat macrophages incubated with LPS increased iNOS mRNA levels, suggesting direct inhibition of the enzyme but not of its expression. These results cannot be ascribed to the depletion of arginine the iNOS substrate since they can be reproduced even in the presence of an excess (10 mM) of exogenously added arginine. No correlation was found between the iNOS inhibitory activity in each sample and the corresponding clinical parameters related to either the graft function after the OLT or the existence of post-reperfusion syndrome. Our results indicate the existence of a soluble factor in the graft efflux from human OLT that reversibly and unspecifically inhibits NOS activity. Its involvement in the physiology and/or pathology of human liver diseases deserves further study.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The optimal anesthetic management of patients undergoing thoracotomy for pulmonary resection has not been definitely determined. We evaluated whether general i.v. anesthesia (propofol-fentanyl) provides superior PaO2 during one-lung ventilation (OLV) compared with thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) with supplemental local and general anesthetics. We studied 60 patients who had prolonged periods of OLV for elective thoracic surgery for lung cancer and who were prospectively randomized into two groups. In 30 patients (GA group), fentanyl/propofol/rocuronium anesthesia was used. Another 30 patients (TEA group) were anesthetized with propofol/rocuronium/epidural thoracic bupivacaine 0.5%. A double-lumen endotracheal tube was inserted, and mechanical ventilation with 100% oxygen was used during the entire study. Arterial and venous blood gases were recorded before surgery in a lateral position with two-lung ventilation, 15 and 30 min after OLV (OLV + 15 and OLV + 30, respectively) in all patients. We measured PaO2, venous central oxygen tension, arterial and central venous oxygen saturation, venous admixture percentage (Qs/Qt%), and arterial and central venous oxygen content. The mean values for PaO2 during OLV in the GA group after 15 min (175 mm Hg) and 30 min (182 mm Hg) were significantly (P < 0.05) higher compared with the TEA group (120 and 118 mm Hg, respectively). Furthermore, Qs/Qt% was significantly (P < 0.05) increased in the TEA group during OLV. There were no other significant differences. We conclude that using the TEA regimen is associated with a lower PaO2 and a larger intrapulmonary shunt during OLV than with total i.v. anesthesia alone. IMPLICATIONS Sixty patients undergoing elective lung surgery during a prolonged period of intraoperative one-lung ventilation were studied and randomized to receive general i.v. anesthesia or general i.v. anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia. The arterial oxygenation in the first group was better than that in the second group during one-lung ventilation.

Abstract
Postreperfusion syndrome (PRS) is an important cause of hemodynamic deterioration during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We retrospectively studied 94 patients who had undergone OLT in an effort to establish whether the hemodynamic response to clamping of the inferior vena cava (IVC) could be used to predict hemodynamic behavior on reperfusion of the grafted liver. PRS was defined as a decrease in the mean arterial pressure of more than 30% below the baseline value for more than 1 min during the first 5 min after reperfusion of the graft. The patients were divided into two groups: those who developed PRS (PRS group) and those who did not (non-PRS group). We analyzed hemodynamic response before (dissection stage) and after (anhepatic stage) clamping of the IVC. Based on multivariate analysis methods (logistic regression), the percentage of change in the vascular resistance index from before clamping to after clamping of the IVC was an indicator of the risk of developing PRS, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.04 for each unit of change (ENTER method, P = 0.01). In the non-PRS group, clamping of the IVC was followed by a 47.1% decrease in the cardiac index, compared with a 27.9% decrease in the PRS group (P < 0.05). The systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) increased by 49% in the PRS group, as opposed to 85.7% in the non-PRS group (P < 0.05). PRS occurred in only 17.5% of patients in whom the SVRI increased by more than 50%. We conclude that the integrity of the vasoconstrictive response (increase in the peripheral vascular resistance greater than 50%) as measured immediately after clamping of the IVC correlates with occurrence of PRS.

Abstract
During a 3-year period between 1990 and 1993, 100 patients received orthotopic liver transplantation at the "Gregorio Marañón" University General Hospital. The mean age of the patients was relatively high (46.9 +/- 10 years), with an important number of cirrhotic patients (91%). The rate of primary liver failure was relatively low (4.5% of transplantations) although 12 cases with more than 55 years were included in the present series. Eleven retransplantations were performed, 8 for early failure of the graft and 3 for chronic failure. Postoperative complications of the graft were vascular in 9 cases, biliary in 17 cases, and acute rejection (cellular) in 70 patients, although only 50 of these patients required treatment with steroid boluses. Infections were diagnosed in 60 cases with 80% of major infections, 6 of them caused by Aspergillus fumigatus that were lethal in all the cases. Postoperative survival was 82%, 72%, 69% and 69% at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse complications in the catheterization of the internal jugular vein using the Boulanger technique and to establish a rating of difficulty and risk when the procedure is carried out by physicians in training. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a prospective study of 296 internal jugular vein (IJV) catheterizations by the Boulanger technique carried out by physicians in training (group R2 and group R3-4) or by departmental staff physicians (group staff). Time taken for venous catheterization, rate of success and complications were recorded for each physician performing the procedure. RESULTS The complication most often observed (11.4%) was puncture of the carotid artery (14.3% group R2, 10% group R3-4 and 8.2% staff), followed by arrhythmia upon insertion of the metal guide (1.6%). There were no instances of pneumothorax or hemothorax, nor any other of the early complications considered infrequent. Success ranged from 68.8% for group R2 to 85.7% for staff. Mean time used in group R2 was 238.7 seconds, while for staff it was 118.3 seconds. CONCLUSION We suggest that the Boulanger technique for catheterization of the internal jugular vein is a good one and is not particularly hazardous when performed by resident physicians in training.

Abstract
A placement technique for central venous catheters (CVC) using the intracavitary electrocardiography (ICECG) as well as three different connection systems of the CVC to the electrocardiographic monitor are described. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correct placement of the CVC by this technique with posterior radiologic confirmation being carried out. The study was undertaken in 30 patients connecting a CVC to a negative electrode of the standard lead II and the positive to the left leg. The CVC was advanced and the changes in the morphology of the "P" wave as it passed along the superior vena cava (SVC) to the right auricle (RA) were observed. In 28 of the 30 patients (93.3%) a biphasic "P" wave (right auricle) was achieved with the CVC being thereafter withdrawn until the SVC (this location was radiologically confirmed posteriorly). In 2 patients (6.6%) a biphasic "P" wave was not obtained and an abnormal position of the CVC was radiologically demonstrated at surgery (one in the ipsilateral subclavian vein and the other had a ring within the right subclavian vein impeding progression). The mean time used in the performance of this technique was 220 +/- 40 s. It is concluded that intracavitary electrocardiography is a simple, easy to learn and perform technique which does not delay surgical procedure and it is a reliable method for placing the end of the CVC.
