Summary

To study the association of the thoracic fluid content and acute lung injury during liver transplantation.

Detailed description

Acute lung injury is not uncommon after liver transplantation. A new monitor non-invasive cardiac output monitor (NICOM) is designed to measure thoracic fluid content. The investigators attempt to use the parameter thoracic fluid content to investigate its relationship with acute lung injury in liver transplant recipients.

Conditions

• Acute Lung Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	NICOM	NICOM monitoring thoracic fluid content at baseline(T1), anhepatic phase(T2), 30 mins after reperfusion(T3) and 2 hrs after reperfusion(T4).
