About

Egypt has a very high prevalence of HCV and a high morbidity and mortality from chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Approximately 20% of Egyptian blood donors are anti-HCV positive. Egypt has higher rates of HCV than neighboring countries as well as other countries in the world with comparable socioeconomic conditions and hygienic standards for invasive medical, dental, or paramedical procedures.

Donor safety is on the top of our priorities as a team and it is widely recognized intraopertively during hepatectomy, there are several potential risks during the Perioperative period .

Full description

to a conclusion that intraoperative fluid management aids to the reduction of the intraoperative bleeding during the procedure, adequate and guided fluid management is considered one of the important strategies to reduce the blood loss besides of the other anesthetic techniques like hemodilution, normovolemia, cell salvage usage , high Stroke volume variation (SVV) method ,and low CVP technique , the last method is considered the most applicable, simpler, and cost effective technique which could be easier to be performed.

Enrollment: 40 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• age of 20 years . candidate for donor right lobe hepatectomy for LDLT . volume assessment diagnosed as hypovolemia intraopertively by the anesthesiologist.

Exclusion criteria

• inability to scan IJV secondary to surgical dressing, hematoma formation after trial or placement of CVP catheter on left side.

inability for proper positioning.

Trial design

40 participants in 1 patient group

Intervention

Description:

diagnostic criteria for volume assessment were heart rate (HR), mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), central venous pressure (CVP), and urine output hourly (UOP) in ml/hr. During period of hypovolemia, all enrolled patients had left IJV scanned (T0) and measured by one anesthesiologist experienced in point-of-care ultrasound. This point-of-care anesthesiologist is not involved in the anesthetic management of the patient and blinded to the volume status of the patient values. Hypovolemic patients were given a fluid bolus in the form of ringer acetate 5 ml / Kg. Ultrasonic and hemodynamic measurements are reassessed 10 minutes (T 10) after the fluid resuscitation.
