ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The reperfusion period during liver transplantation is hemodynamically unstable. Accurate blood pressure measurements are the mainstay for the efficient management of abrupt cardiovascular changes. We sought to compare femoral arterial blood pressure (FABP) with radial arterial blood pressure (RABP) and noninvasive upper arm blood pressure (NIBP) in the reperfusion period.METHODS:
Thirty-six adult living donor liver recipients were enrolled in this prospective study. Blood pressures in 3 locations were simultaneously recorded from 1 minute before reperfusion to 15 minutes after reperfusion. We evaluated agreements between FABP and RABP and between FABP and NIBP using intraclass correlation coefficients. Also, we investigated the rates of postreperfusion syndrome (PRS) based on the measurements from 3 locations.RESULTS:
After reperfusion, the mean and diastolic RABP agreed more with the corresponding FABP than NIBP. However, systolic NIBP showed high agreement with FABP from 3 to 10 minutes after reperfusion in contrast with the moderate agreement between systolic RABP with FABP, and systolic values of NIBP than RABP were closer to FABP. The rates of PRS based on FABP, RABP, and NIBP measurements were 50.0% (18/36), 80.6% (29/36), and 50.0% (18/36), respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
We believe that NIBP in addition to RABP may be considered to be a reliable alternative when FABP is not available to evaluate hemodynamic instability in the reperfusion period during liver transplantation.
