Why the study?
What risk factors are associated with acute heart failure during liver transplant surgery?
What risk factors are associated with acute heart failure during liver transplant surgery?
Preoperative echocardiography may not predict intraoperative heart failure during liver transplantation, whereas lower serum sodium and higher transfusion volumes are associated risk factors.
Lower sodium and higher transfusions may flag intraoperative HF risk in liver transplant; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before changing echo-based assessment.
