Background: Traditionally, the administration of large volumes of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) was common during liver transplant surgery, with no improvement in the results in terms of bleeding and blood-saving. Moreover, this hydric overload caused by FFP may be harmful, leading to an increase in hospital stays and patient morbidity.
Methods: The objective is to assess the morbidity associated to the use of FFP in the intraoperative period of patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation.
Article Synopsis
- New research is being published on high-density data clinical information systems (HDDCIS), which help reduce data loss from bedside equipment and provide quick evaluations of patient vital signs.
- A study was conducted in a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit to see if manual records of vital signs could be replaced by HDDCIS statistical calculations in patients with severe diabetic ketoacidosis.
- The study found that the central tendency calculations from HDDCIS closely matched manual records, suggesting they can replace them, while sample dispersion calculations showed variability and still require healthcare oversight.
