Incidence, Outcomes, and Risk Factors of Intraoperative Cardiac Arrest During Orthotopic Liver Transplantation.

Background: Intraoperative cardiac arrest (ICA) during liver transplantation (LT) is a rare surgical complication that results in devastating outcomes. Moreover, previous worldwide studies have found inconsistencies in the risk factors associated with ICA in LT.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of adult patients who underwent LT between January and October 2021 at Siriraj Hospital, a tertiary care hospital.

Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy Based on Pulse-Pressure Variation Compared with Standard Fluid Therapy in Patients Undergoing Complex Spine Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Study Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled study.

Purpose: To determine whether the use of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDT) guided by pulse-pressure variation (PPV) and fluid management protocol can reduce intraoperative hypotension, blood transfusion requirements, and postoperative complications in adults undergoing complex spine surgery.

Overview Of Literature: Complex spine surgeries involve a significant risk of blood loss and intraoperative hypotension.
