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.

Clinical Trial
[Evaluation of the efficacy of intravenous iron III-hydroxide saccharate for treating adult patients with iron deficiency anemia].
To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous iron III-hydroxide saccharate for treating adult patients with iron deficiency anemia lacking satisfactory response to oral iron therapy. ⋯ The use of intravenous iron III-hydroxide saccharate is an efficacious and safe option in the treatment of adult patients with iron deficiency anemia lacking satisfactory response to oral iron therapy. This option of treatment should be considered mainly for patients with severe anemia in order to obtain rapid increase of the hemoglobin level and avoid blood transfusion.
