Monitoraggio Emodinamico Intraoperatorio in OLT
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different hemodynamic monitoring techniques during orthotopic liver transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is: if using a different hemodynamic monitoring might help reducing the intraoperative hypotension time. Participants will be randomized to one of two arms of hemodynamic monitoring: * conventional monitoring with pulmonary artery catheter * monitoring with transesophageal echocardiography Researchers will compare the two groups to see if there is any difference in the intraoperatory hypotension time and in secondary outcomes such as organ dysfunctions or mortality.

Participants
Target number of participants: 180
Treatments
No_intervention: PAC hemodynamic monitoring
Patients undergoing Liver Transplantation are monitored using the pulmonary artery catheter.
Experimental: TEE hemodynamic monitoring
Patients undergoing Liver Transplantation are monitored using Transesophageal echocardiography and blinded to the pulmonary artery catheter data (insertion of PAC for patient safety is still mandatory, unblinding is allowed if needed for management by the OR anesthesiologist in charge)
