Relationship between central venous pressure and organ function in early period after liver transplantation / 中华器官移植杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship of central venous pressure (CVP) and organ function in early period after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 111 patients who underwent OLT.According to the value of mean CVP after OLT,all patients were divided into three groups:low CVP group (CVP＜8 rnmHg,1 rnmHg =0.133 kPa),normal CVP group (CVP 8-12 mmHg) and high CVP group (CVP ＞12 mmHg).Meanwhile,According to whether the CVP dropped below 8 mmHg or not in the past 48h after surgery,all patients were divided into two groups.Results There were significant differences in serum total bilirubin,serum creatinine and serum lactate among low,normal,and high CVP groups (P＜0.05).The time of vasoactive agent,fluid balance,time of mechanical ventilation and incidence of acute kidney injury in groups with CVP not dropped below 8 rnmHg were higher than those in groups with CVP dropped below 8 mmHg (P＜0.05).Conclusion CVP was associated with liver,kidney,lung function and lactate.Controlling a lower CVP can significantly shorten the time of mechanical ventilation and reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after OLT.
