Although of great importance for all those involved in liver transplant, in literature there is no consensual description on its hemodynamic behavior. This study intends to describe the hemodynamic behavior during and in the first 48 h after liver transplant . ⋯ During the first hours after liver transplant an intense hemodynamic variation is noted with progressive increase in the systemic arterial pressures and in the pulmonary wedge pressure. Furthermore, significant although transitory variations of the cardiac index and of the systemic vascular resistance demand continuous surveillance to minimize their consequences.
