“…All of the patients were subjected to our institutional standard anesthesia protocol for living donor liver transplantation 7-11. Briefly, anesthesia was induced with thiopental, fentanyl, midazolam and vecuronium, and was maintained using 1-2 vol% sevoflurane, 50% oxygen/air, and continuous infusion with vecuronium and fentanyl.…”

“…First of all, because "cirrhotic cardiomyopathy" is based on chronic liver disease, the Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score should be considered as predictive factor in liver [73]. However, the predictive value of MELD on the survival of liver transplantation is inconclusive [6,74,75].…”

“…BNP is thought to reflect cardiac dysfunction [74]. BNP concentrations correlate with cardiac function and hypertrophy [76] and seems to be the most sensitive index to identify subclinical asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction [73].…”

“…all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation. [36][37][38] The perioperative period is characterised by rapid haemodynamic changes and fluid shifts, all of which increase ventricular wall stress. While there is no doubt that myocardial ischaemia contributes to postoperative NP elevation, it is likely that perioperative haemodynamic changes are an important trigger for perioperative NP secretion, and not myocardial ischaemia alone.…”
