Measures of controlled low central venous pressure in major hepatectomy / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Major hepatectomy (MH) is a common treatment for benign and malignant liver diseases. Controlled low central venous pressure (CLCVP) is an important measure to reduce the intraoperative blood loss and transfusion requirement during MH. In this paper, the application standard of CLCVP at MH is discussed, and the specific measures to achieve CLCVP including fluid restriction, drug application, body gesture adjustment, reduction of tidal volume, suspension of respiratory ventilation, and infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping (complete and partial) are systematically summarized.
