Perioperative Lactate Kinetics in Patient Undergoing Major Liver Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Liver Failure, Acute
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: serum lactate
Registration Number
NCT04512014
Lead Sponsor
Institutul Clinic Fundeni
Brief Summary

Major liver surgery is associated with increased incidence of perioperative complications and increased mortality if these are not addressed quickly in a high dependency intensive care unit. Of these, posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) represents one of the most important cause of postoperative unfavourable outcome. The present study investigates the correlation between lactate levels and PHLF. Lactate levels were collected at six specific timepoints: preoperative, pre-dissection phase, post-dissection phase, end of surgery and 24-hours and 48-hours in the postoperative period.
