Incidence of Intracranial Hypertension During Liver Transplantation Estimated by Non-invasive Ultrasound Methods.

A value of the optic nerve sheath diameter (averaged over 2 measures) greater than 5.7 mm will be considered pathological, indicating the strong likelihood of intracranial hypertension (PPV near 100% for an intracranial pressure > 25 cmh2o in the literature) The optic nerve sheath diameter will be measured by ultrasonography, in accordance with existing protocols: Use probe 7.5 Mhz in 2D mode, patient supine dorsi, implementation of ultrasound gel on the closed eyelid, search for the optimal window 3mm, optic nerve sheath diameter measurement behind the retina using an electronic cursor along an axis perpendicular to the optic nerve. 2 measurements per side (sagittal and transverse plane) averaged. Values> 5.7mm are deemed pathological.

Diastolic velocity value of less than 20 cm s-1 and a pulsatility index greater than 1.4 will be considered pathological, indicating a high probability of intracranial hypertension.

The transcranial Doppler measurements are performed according to the existing protocols: use of a cardiac probe 2 Mhz, positioned temporal window, the circle of Willis color Doppler tracking then collecting the Doppler signal of the middle cerebral artery in Doppler pulsed with the insonation angle as small as possible to a depth between 40 and 60 mm. Measuring systolic, diastolic and mean velocity )Vs, Vd, Vm) and calculating the pulsatility Index (PI) bilaterally. PI values of> 1.4 and Vd <20 cm s-1 will be considered pathological.

A monitoring with simultaneous collection of clinical, biological and ultrasound parameters, will be done. Neurological complications after surgery will be defined by the presence of at least one of the following criteria: Glasgow score < 14 in a non-sedated patient, behavioral disorders, agitation (evaluation according to the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) score), epilepsy, imaging or MRI scan. Pathological evolved compared to the preoperative including hemorrhagic or thrombotic cardiovascular event. Various confounding factors will be considered (serum sodium, serum tacrolimus, serum magnesium, ammonia, sedatives).
