Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) has expanded as an important diagnostic tool for peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs), with diagnostic yields ranging from 60% to 88%. However, sampling and diagnosing PPN less than 2 cm in size has historically been challenging. Mobile cone-beam computed tomography (mCBCT) has been recently integrated into ssRAB to improve diagnostic accuracy, but its added value remains uncertain. We aim to describe the role of mCBCT and determine if it provides any diagnostic advantage. METHODS A multicentre, retrospective study on the use of ssRAB and mCBCT in two tertiary care institutions: Mayo Clinic Florida and Massachusetts General Hospital. The primary outcome was diagnostic yield and sensitivity for malignancy of ssRAB complemented with mCBCT, compared to ssRAB with the standard 2D fluoroscopy. RESULTS A total of 192 nodules were biopsied from 173 patients. mCBCT was used in 117 (60.9%) nodules. The overall diagnostic yield was 85.4%. Diagnostic yield between subgroups with and without mCBCT was 83.8% and 88% (p = 0.417), respectively. The mCBCT group had fewer solid nodules (65.8% vs. 81.3%, p = 0.020) and a higher number of ground-glass nodules (10.3% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.016). CONCLUSION Overall, diagnostic yield between subgroups with and without mCBCT was similar. The complementary use of mCBCT to ssRAB allows proceduralists to target more complex and subsolid PPNs with a diagnostic yield comparable to simple solid PPNs while maintaining an excellent safety profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anesthesiologists frequently use intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to aid in the diagnosis and management of hemodynamic problems during liver transplantation (LT). Although the use of TEE in US centers continues to increase, data regarding international use are lacking. METHODS This prospective, global, survey-based study evaluates international experience with TEE for LT. Responses from 252 LT (105 US and 147 non-US) centers representing 1789 anesthesiologists were analyzed. RESULTS Routine use of TEE in the United States has increased in the last 5 y (from 37% to 47%), but only 21% of non-US LT anesthesiologists use TEE routinely. Lack of training (44% US versus 70% non-US) and equipment (9% non-US, versus 34% US) were cited as obstacles. Most survey participants preferred not to perform a complete cardiac examination but rather use only 6 of 11 basic views. Although non-US LT anesthesiologists more frequently had additional clinical training than their US counterparts, they had less TEE experience (13% versus 44%) and less frequently, TEE certification (22% versus 35%). Most LT anesthesiologists agreed that TEE certification is essential for proficiency. Of all respondents, 89% agreed or strongly agreed that TEE provides valuable information needed for immediate clinical decision-making, and >86% agreed or strongly agreed that that information could not be derived from other sources. CONCLUSIONS The use of TEE for LT surgery in the US LT centers is currently higher compared with non-US LT centers. This may become a standard monitoring modality during LT in the near future.

Abstract
Objective To describe the safety and feasibility of a fast-track pathway for neurosurgical craniotomy patients receiving care in a neurosciences progressive care unit (NPCU). Patients and Methods Traditionally, most craniotomy patients are admitted to the neurosciences intensive care unit (NSICU) for postoperative follow-up. Decreased availability of NSICU beds during the coronavirus disease-2019 delta surge led our team to establish a de-novo NPCU to preserve capacity for patients requiring high level of care and would bypass routine NSICU admissions. Patients were selected a priori by treating neurosurgeons on the basis of the potential need for high-level ICU services. After operation, selected patients were transferred to the postoperative care unit, where suitability for NPCU transfer was reassessed with checklist-criteria. This process was continued after the delta surge. Results From July 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022, 57 patients followed the NPCU protocol. Thirty-four (59.6%) were women, and the mean age was 56 years. Fifty-seven craniotomies for 34 intra-axial and 23 extra-axial lesions were performed. After assessment and application of the checklist-criteria, 55 (96.5%) were transferred to NPCU, and only 2 (3.5%) were transferred to ICU. All 55 patients followed in NPCU had good safety outcomes without requiring NSICU transfer. This saved $143,000 and led to 55 additional ICU beds for emergent admissions. Conclusion This fast-track craniotomy protocol provides early experience that a surgeon-selected group of patients may be suitably monitored outside the traditional NSICU. This system has the potential to reduce overall health care expenses, increase capacity for NSICU bed availability, and change the paradigm of NSICU admission.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Care Hotel is a virtual hybrid care model for postoperative patients after low-risk procedures which allow recovery in an outpatient environment. This study aimed to analyze if the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA PS) Classification System can be used as a predictive factor for staying at Mayo Clinic's Care Hotel. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted between July 23, 2020, and June 4, 2021, at Mayo Clinic in Florida, a 306-bed community academic hospital. ASA PS Class and post-procedure care setting (Care Hotel vs inpatient ward) were collected. Patients were classified into two ASA PS groups (ASA PS Classes 1-2 and 3-4). Pearson's Chi-square test was used to determine if the ASA PS Class and having stayed or not at the Care Hotel were independent and an Odds Ratio (OR) calculated. RESULTS Out of 392 surgical and procedural patients, 272 (69.39%) chose the Care Hotel and 120 (30.61%) chose the inpatient ward. There was a statistically significant association between ASA PS Class and staying at the Care Hotel, P < .01. The OR of preferring to stay at the Care Hotel in patients with ASA PS Class 1-2 vs ASA PC Class 3-4 was 1.91 (P = .0041, 95% CI: 1.229-2.982). CONCLUSION Patients with ASA PS Classes 1-2 are almost twice as likely to elect to stay at the Care Hotel compared to those with ASA PS Classes 3-4. This finding may help care teams focus their Care hotel recruitment efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ground-glass pulmonary nodules (GGNs) are most commonly sampled by percutaneous transthoracic biopsy. Diagnostic yield for ground-glass nodules using robotic-assisted bronchoscopy has been scarcely described, with a reported yield of 70.6%. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to assess diagnostic yield for GGNs using shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB). METHOD A retrospective study of patients who underwent ssRAB for evaluation of GGNs, from September 2021 to April 2023. Primary outcome was diagnostic yield of ssRAB for GGNs, secondary outcomes were sensitivity for malignancy, and complications that required admission or intervention. RESULTS A total of 23 nodules were biopsied from 22 patients. Median age was 71 years (IQR 66-81), 63.6% were female, and 40.9% had a previous history of cancer. Forty-three percent of nodules were in the right upper lobes, and the median lesion size was 1.8 × 1.21. Twelve were subsolid nodules (SSNs), and 11 were pure GGNs. Overall diagnostic yield was 87%, with a sensitivity for malignancy of 88.9%. Adenocarcinoma was the most common malignancy diagnosed (70%). No procedure-related complications were reported. CONCLUSION The use of ssRAB shows a high diagnostic yield for diagnosing GGN and SSN with less than 6 mm solid component with a low risk for complications.

Abstract
Mayo Clinic's Care Hotel is a virtual hybrid care model which allows postoperative patients to recover in a comfortable environment after a low-risk procedure. Hospitals need to understand the key patient factors that promote acceptance of the Care Hotel if they are to benefit from this innovative care model. This study aims to identify factors that can predict whether a patient will stay at Care Hotel. Materials and methods This retrospective chart review of 1065 patients was conducted between 23 July 2020, and 31 December 2021. Variables examined included patient age, sex, race, ethnicity, Charlson comorbidity index, distance patient travelled to hospital, length of surgery, day of the week of surgery, and surgical service. Associations of patient and surgery characteristics with the primary outcome of staying at the Care Hotel were assessed using unadjusted and multivariable logistic regression models. Results Of the 1065 patients who met criteria for admission to the Care Hotel during the study period, 717 (67.3%) chose to stay at the Care Hotel while 328 (32.7%) choose to be admitted to the hospital. In multivariable analysis, there was a significant association between surgical service and staying at the Care Hotel (P<0.001). Specifically, there was a higher likelihood of staying at the Care Hotel for patients from Neurosurgery [odds rato (OR)=1.86, P=0.004], Otorhinolaryngology (OR=2.70, P<0.001), and General Surgery (OR=2.75, P=0.002). Additionally, there was a higher likelihood of staying at the Care Hotel with distance travelled over 110 miles [OR (per each doubling)=1.10, P=0.007]. Conclusion When developing a post-surgical care model for patients following outpatient procedures, the referring surgical service is a primary factor to consider in order to ensure patient acceptance, along with patient distance. This study can assist other healthcare organizations considering this model, as it provides guidance on which factors are most indicative of acceptance.

Abstract
Patients with acute and chronic liver disease present with a wide range of disease states and severity that may require liver transplantation (LT). Physiologic alterations occur that are dynamic throughout all phases of perioperative care, creating complex management scenarios that necessitate multidisciplinary clinical care. Specifically, alterations in hemostasis in liver disease can be pronounced and evolve with disease progression over time. Recent studies and society guidance address this emerging paradigm and offer recommendations to assist with hemostatic management in patients with liver disease. However, patients undergoing LT are unique and diverse, often with unstable disease that requires specialized approaches. Our aim is to provide a focused review of hemostatic management of the LT patient, distinguish unique aspects of the three main phases of care (before LT, perioperative, and after LT), and identify knowledge gaps and critical areas of future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with mild to severe chronic systemic disease undergoing low-risk procedures are often hospitalized for observation. The Care Hotel is a novel virtual medicine hybrid model of care that offers patients a comfortable, out of hospital environment where they can receive both in-person and virtual care after a surgery or procedure. This study aimed to analyze if virtual hybrid post-procedure care in a hotel could be both conducted on and accepted by patients, even those with moderate to severe chronic diseases. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted between July 23, 2020 and June 4, 2021 at Mayo Clinic in Florida, a 306-bed community academic hospital. We collected the sex, age, race, ethnicity, acceptance rate, ASA score, and primary procedure of patients using the Care Hotel. RESULTS Out of 392 patients, 272 (69.4%) opted for care in the program. Median patient age was 61.5 years, 59.56% were males, and 86.40% were white. We found that 50.37% had an ASA score of 2 and 43.4% had an ASA score of 3. Ten different surgical specialties were able to utilize the Care Hotel for care in 47 different procedure types. Urology had the most patients (n=70, 25.7%). Post-electrophysiologic procedures were the most common procedures (n=39, 14.3%). CONCLUSION Our virtual hybrid Care Hotel program was widely accepted by patients and could care for a multitude of post-operative procedures. Additionally, this novel program can care for patients with both mild and severe systemic diseases.

Abstract
Humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (HRIVE) is an option for maintenance of oxygenation. This technique allows for oxygenation while the patient is apnoeic due to continuous positive airway pressure and gas exchange through flow-dependent dead space flushing. There is no study about the usage of HRIVE during rigid bronchoscopy. This retrospective study looked at rigid bronchoscopy cases utilizing HRIVE. Data points assessing adequacy of oxygenation and ventilation were recorded at time points: oxygen saturation (SpO2), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). Our nine cases had an average baseline SpO2 of 99.26%, 95.56% at 10 min into HRIVE and 95.27% at the end of HRIVE. The average baseline PaO2 was 309.01 mmHg, 124.99 mmHg at 10 min into HRIVE and 128.17 mmHg at the end of HRIVE. The average baseline PaCO2 was 43.26 mmHg, 68.76 mmHg at 10 min into HRIVE and 75.52 mmHg at the end of HRIVE. The average pre-HRIVE end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) was 38.56 mmHg and the average post-HRIVE ETCO2 was 61.22 mmHg. The average baseline pH was 7.36, 7.22 at 10 min into HRIVE and 7.19 at the end of HRIVE. In this small cohort study, HRIVE was able to maintain adequate oxygenation via the rigid bronchoscope in a select group of patients. Hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis did result after 10 min, which may predispose certain patient populations to complications. HRIVE potentially offers an additional option of oxygenation via the rigid bronchoscope.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) presents with a hypertrophied left ventricle (LV). It is often associated with LV outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and a risk for sudden death. This study aimed to describe outcomes of patients with HCM who underwent liver transplant (LT). METHODS A retrospective review was conducted for patients diagnosed with HCM undergoing LT. Patient characteristics, preoperative echocardiography results, HCM risk of sudden cardiac death prediction model score, and 5-year mortality were examined. A univariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association between risk factors and 5-year mortality. All tests were two-sided with the alpha level set at .05. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients were included in the analysis. Six patients (21%) had a perioperative cardiopulmonary complication. The 5-year survival rate was 61% (95% CI, 45-82). The analyzed risk factors showed that 5-year post-LT survival was significantly predicted by maximal LV outflow tract gradient at rest > 60 mmHg (hazard ratio, 1.04 [95% CI, 1.01-1.06]). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative LV outflow tract resting gradient > 60 mmHg was associated with 5-year post-LT mortality. The results suggest the severity of LVOTO identified by echocardiography is a prognostic tool for patients with HCM after LT.

Abstract
Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways focus on decreasing surgical stress and promoting return to normal function for patients undergoing surgical procedures. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of an ERAS protocol on outcomes of patients undergoing primary sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Outcomes included hospital length of stay (LOS), and management of postoperative pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) measured by pain medications and antiemetic use, respectively. Incidence of 90-day emergency department (ED) visits, readmissions, and complications were also analyzed. Methods: A retrospective review was performed from October 1, 2016 to October 31, 2018 of patients enrolled in the ERAS versus the conventional pathway. Patient baseline characteristics, pain and nausea scores, LOS, and postoperative outcome variables were collected. Results: Non-ERAS (n = 193) and ERAS (n = 173) groups had similar patient characteristics. Fewer ERAS patients required postoperative opioids and antiemetics (P < .01), with a significant difference in postoperative nausea control in favor of ERAS patients (P < .05). There was a decreasing trend in median LOS (2 versus 1, P = .28), 90-day postoperative readmissions (10.4% versus 8.1%, P = .47), and major adverse events (5.2% versus 1.7%, P = .07) after ERAS implementation. The ED visits and postoperative need for intravenous fluid for dehydration were significantly lower in the ERAS group (P = .01). Conclusion: Implementation of ERAS pathway for bariatric surgery was associated with less opioid usage, PONV, ED visits, and postoperative need for intravenous fluids, without increasing LOS, 90-day readmission or rates of adverse effects.

Abstract
Liver grafts from donation after circulatory death (DCD) are a source of organs to decrease wait-list mortality. While there have been lower rates of graft loss, there are concerns of an increased incidence of intraoperative events in recipients of DCD grafts. We aim to look at the incidence of intraoperative events between recipients of livers from DCD and donation after brain death (DBD) donors. We collected data for 235 DCD liver recipients between 2006 and 2017. We performed a 1:1 propensity match between these patients and patients with DBD donors. Variables included recipient age, liver disease etiology, biological Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, allocation MELD score, diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, and year of transplantation. DCD and DBD groups had no significant differences in incidence of postreperfusion syndrome (P = 0.75), arrhythmia requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (P = 0.66), and treatments for hyperkalemia (P = 0.84). In the DCD group, there was a significant increase in amount of total intraoperative and postreperfusion blood products (with exception of postreperfusion packed red blood cells) utilized (P < 0.05 for all products), significant differences in postreperfusion thromboelastography parameters, as well as inotropes and vasopressors used (P < 0.05 for all infusions). There was no difference in patient (P = 0.49) and graft survival (P = 0.10) at 1, 3, and 5 years. In conclusion, DCD grafts compared with a cohort of DBD grafts have a similar low incidence of major intraoperative events, but increased incidence of transient vasopressor/inotropic usage and increased blood transfusion requirements. This does not result in differences in longterm outcomes. While centers should continue to look at DCD liver donors, they should be cognizant regarding intraoperative care to prevent adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the validity of assessing patient satisfaction with the sedation regimen among patients being discharged 45 min after receiving midazolam. If most patients do not have recall, then the sedation cannot be considered complete at the time of evaluation. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, 20 patients underwent cataract surgery with nurse-administered midazolam and fentanyl. The 11-item Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale was administered 30 min after sedation in the recovery room. Recalled items were evaluated the next morning. RESULTS Eleven patients recalled 0 themes, 4 recalled 1, 4 recalled 2, and 1 recalled 3 themes. Thus, 15/20 patients (75%) recalled 0 or 1 of the 11 themes (P = 0.021 versus half the patients). The 95% one-sided lower confidence limit for 0, 1, or 2 themes was 80% of patients (P < 0.001 versus half). Patients who received less midazolam recalled more themes (Kendall's τb = 0.43, P = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS Evaluating patient satisfaction with sedation shortly after admission to the post-anesthesia care unit is invalid because of a lack of recall; the sedation/amnesia is ongoing. Patient comfort may be assessed, but comfort is not synonymous with satisfaction; 'satisfaction' implies presence of recall. Because we studied sedation with low doses of midazolam and fentanyl, the same conclusion reliably would apply to larger doses of anxiolytics administered intraoperatively. The results match previous findings that when patients receive preoperative midazolam prior to meeting the anesthesiologist, even if the patient fully answers questions, they may have negligible recall of having met the anesthesiologist.

Abstract
Liver transplantation is a complex procedure performed on critically ill patients with multiple comorbidities, which requires the anesthesiologist to be facile with complex hemodynamics and physiology, vascular access procedures, and advanced monitoring. Over the past decade, there has been a continuing debate whether or not liver transplant anesthesia is a general or specialist practice. Yet, as significant data have come out in support of dedicated liver transplant anesthesia teams, there is not a guarantee of liver transplant exposure in domestic residencies. In addition, there are no standards for what competencies are required for an individual seeking fellowship training in liver transplant anesthesia. Using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education guidelines for residency training as a model, the Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia Fellowship Committee in conjunction with the Liver Transplant Anesthesia Fellowship Task Force has developed the first proposed standardized core competencies and milestones for fellowship training in liver transplant anesthesiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the prevalence of hypertension continues to increase, physicians routinely encounter patients preoperatively receiving one or more cardiovascular medications to manage hypertension. Thus, the physician's knowledge of perioperative antihypertensive medication management is crucial to ensure patient safety. OBJECTIVE We discuss the decisions to continue or stop antihypertensive medications to reduce the risk of perioperative complications. METHOD We conducted a review of the original research studies, review articles, and editorials present on PubMed within the past 60 years. The authors included peer-reviewed articles that they deemed relevant to current practice. Search terms of perioperative surgical home, preoperative medication instruction, surgery, and perioperative management were used in combination with the key words α-agonist, antihypertensive, β-blocker, calcium-channel blocker, diuretic, hypertension, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor, and vasodilator. The reference lists of each selected article were also reviewed for additional sources of information. RESULTS The number of articles about perioperative management of antihypertension medications increased in more recent years. Evidence showed clear support of the continuation or withholding of most medications. However, no clear recommendation was found on the continuation of reninangiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors in the perioperative period. CONCLUSION Current evidence supports the perioperative continuation of β-blockers, calciumchannel blockers, and α-2 agonists. However, diuretics should be discontinued on the day of the surgery and resumed in the postoperative period. Debates persist about the continuation of reninangiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in modern society, health care providers are frequently tasked with managing glucose control in the perioperative period. When determining perioperative diabetes management, the clinician must balance the need to maintain relative euglycemia at the time of surgery with preventing hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia in a fasting surgical patient. This balance requires an understanding of the pharmacology of these medications, the type of surgery, and the patient's degree of diabetic control. OBJECTIVE We discuss the various medications used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and the current recommendations regarding perioperative care. METHOD A review of the current literature present on Pubmed and Medline was conducted between the years 2000-2016. The reference lists of each selected article were also reviewed for additional sources of information. CONCLUSION Perioperative control of blood glucose levels is associated with less morbidity and improved surgical outcomes in patients with and without DM. Preoperatively, clinicians need to thoughtfully adjust diabetic medications on the basis of patient comorbidities, the duration of the fasting period, and the duration of surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative strategies typically use insulin to maintain blood glucose levels in the range of 80 to 180 mg/dL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A considerable portion of the US population uses herbal supplements on a daily basis for their various proposed beneficial effects. However, the over-the-counter nature of these medications and lack of knowledge of adverse effect profiles can have unexpected serious impact on the perioperative course. The growing list of supplements presents a pharmacologic conundrum to the anesthesiologist. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to compile a comprehensive list of vitamins, herbals, and supplements used commonly by patients, describe the risks associated with them, and identify recommendations for perioperative management. METHOD The current literature on PubMed and Medline was reviewed for the years 2000 through 2016. The reference lists of each selected article were also reviewed for additional sources of information. RESULTS The review identified 23 herbals and supplements that are commonly used and their perioperative considerations. CONCLUSION The management of herbals and supplements is an issue for the anesthesiologist. Although it would be prudent to stop the use of most substances a week or more preoperatively, the perioperative physician must be wary of the potential for withdrawal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain continues to be the most common medical concern, and perioperative health care providers are encountering increasing numbers of patients with chronic pain conditions. It is important to have a clear understanding of how long-term use of pain medications impacts anesthesia during the intraoperative and postoperative periods. OBJECTIVE To review common medications used to treat chronic pain and summarize current recommendations regarding perioperative care. METHOD We reviewed the literature by searching PubMed and Google Scholar for articles from 2000-2016. The search strategy included searching for the various classes of pain medications and including the terms perioperative, anesthesiology, and recommendations. We also reviewed the reference lists of each article to identify other relevant sources regarding the perioperative management of pain medications. RESULTS After the literature review, we were able to establish the pharmacology, anesthetic interactions, and recommendations for management of each of the common classes of pain medication. CONCLUSION Management of postoperative pain is an important concern for all perioperative health care providers. Although most pain medications should be continued in the perioperative period, it is important to preoperatively discontinue those that antagonize pain receptors to avoid significant postoperative morbidities associated with poorly managed pain.

Abstract
The anesthesia community has openly debated if the care of transplant patients was generalist or specialist care ever since the publication of an opinion paper in 1999 recommended subspecialty training in the field of liver transplantation anesthesia. In the past decade, liver transplant anesthesia has become more complex with a sicker patient population and evolving evidence-based practices. Transplant training is currently not required for accreditation or certification in anesthesiology, and not all anesthesia residency programs are associated with transplant centers. Yet there is evidence that patient outcome is affected by the experience of the anesthesiologist with liver transplants as part of a multidisciplinary care team. Requests for a formal review of the inequities in training opportunities and requirements led the Society for the Advancement for Transplant Anesthesia (SATA) to begin the task of developing post-graduate fellowship training recommendations. In this article, members of the SATA Working Group on Transplant Anesthesia Education present their reasoning for specialized education and conclusions about which pathways can better prepare trainees to care for complex transplant patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, has been described following a variety of surgeries and disease states. The relationship between intra-operative anesthesia management and the development of this syndrome has never been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to determine the relationship of multiple intra-operative factors on the pathogenesis of TTS. METHODS A single-center retrospective review of all liver transplants performed at Mayo Clinic Florida from January 2005 to December 2014. Patients developing left ventricular dilation and a concomitant decrease in ejection fraction, a negative cardiac catheterization, or stress test within 30 days of transplantation were identified. Cases were matched 2:1 to controls with respect to MELD, age, sex, and indication for transplantation. Our evaluation included liver graft characteristics, intra-operative medications, and intra-operative hemodynamic measurements. RESULTS We identified 24 cases of TTS from a pool of 1752 transplants, for an incidence of 1.4%. No statistically significant differences in intra-operative measures between the two groups were identified (all P ≥ .08). CONCLUSION Our exploratory, single-center retrospective review evaluating 46 intra-operative characteristics found no association with the development of TTS.
