BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) contributes to morbidity and mortality. Donation after circulatory death (DCD) has been established to increase the pool of organs. While surgical complications are reported to be comparable in DCD and donation after brain death (DBD) OLT, there is a knowledge gap concerning adverse kidney events in these 2 groups.

- - Low-flow veno-venous extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) is a less invasive treatment for patients with respiratory failure that helps manage CO2 levels while supporting lung function.
- - A study involving 70 patients tested a new high-longevity ProLUNG system, which demonstrated an increased runtime for the gas exchanger compared to the original system, achieving up to 48 hours for mechanically ventilated patients and 31 hours for those breathing spontaneously.
- - The results showed a consistent CO2 removal rate throughout the system's use, with significant reductions in CO2 levels and the capability to maintain stable tidal volumes and reduced airway pressure over time.
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the pathophysiological hallmark of hepatic dysfunction after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Related to IRI, early allograft dysfunction (EAD) after OLT affects short- and long-term outcome. During inflammatory states, the liver seems to be the main source of procalcitonin (PCT), which has been shown to increase independently of bacterial infection.

Little is known about the visual behavior of health professionals using these ventilation modes. The aim of this study was to analyze gaze patterns of intensive care nurses while ventilating a patient in the closed-loop mode with Intellivent adaptive support ventilation® (I-ASV) and to compare inexperienced with experienced nurses.
