Inferior Vena Cava Index in Patients Undergoing Liver Resection

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether IVC index measured intraoperatively was affected by fluid administration and could add any helpful information about the hemodynamics during hepatic resection. In addition, the investigators evaluated whether IVC index was somehow correlated with the risk of postoperative complication.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Patients who underwent hepatectomy for primary and secondary liver tumors

Exclusion criteria

Patients with tumoral thrombosis or full tumoral involvement/compression of IVC were excluded. Patients unresectable at laparotomy for any extra-hepatic or intrahepatic reason and patients previously submitted to hepatectomy were not included

Treatment and study plan

IVC diameters evaluation by intraoperative ultrasound

Other

Out of consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy for primary and secondary liver tumors, patients in whom IVC diameters were intraoperatively measured for clinical reasons were retrospectively selected and analyzed

Primary outcomes

to investigate the influence of the liver resection on hemodynamic status in terms of hemodynamic indexes changes
