Table 2.

Mean systemic-to-pulmonary artery pressure ratio and cardiac index, measured at several times during the liver transplant: Baseline (30 min after incision), preanhepatic (1 h before inferior vena cava cross-clamp), anhepatic (15 min before reperfusion), neohepatic (15 min after reperfusion), and 1 h neohepatic (1 h after reperfusion)

% change is calculated as difference from value to baseline value; data are shown as mean ± SD, and median value for ET and LOS. P value was obtained using paired t-test.

a

P < 0.05. ET (duration of postoperative endotracheal intubation): Minutes from ICU arrival to extubation to supplemental oxygen; LOS ICU: Length of stay in intensive care unit; LOS total: Time from ICU arrival to hospital discharge; MAP/mPAP: Mean systemic-to-pulmonary artery pressure ratio; CI: Cardiac index.
