Effect of perioperative fluid therapy on early phase prognosis after liver transplantation.
Although liver transplantation (LT) has made rapid progress, early pulmonary complications still occur. More attention should be paid to fluid therapy that may be an important factor leading to these complications. It is necessary to investigate the correlation between intraoperative and postoperative fluid therapy and early pulmonary complications after LT, then attempt to provide a reasonable fluid therapy in the perioperative period. ⋯ It is important to maintain fluid balance during the perioperative period of LT. If the hemodynamics are stable, appropriate negative fluid balance in the first 3 days after operation apparently decreases the incidence of early pulmonary complications after LT. These measures are associated with better postoperative recovery.
