Key result
Viscoelastic-guided coagulation management and tailored anesthetics are linked to improved surgical outcomes in liver disease.
Why the study?
Patients with liver disease undergoing surgery constitute one of the highest-risk surgical populations, and high-quality prospective evidence to guide anesthetic practice is urgently needed.
Systematic preoperative assessment and individualized management are essential for patients with liver disease undergoing surgery, though high-quality prospective evidence is currently lacking.
Supports tailored perioperative care in liver disease surgery; leaves open optimal protocols pending high-quality prospective trials.
Patients with liver disease undergoing surgery constitute one of the highest-risk surgical populations. Systematic preoperative assessment, individualized anesthetic drug selection, viscoelastic-guided coagulation management, and early multidisciplinary involvement are essential to improve outcomes. High-quality prospective evidence to guide anesthetic practice in patients with liver disease is urgently needed.
