Postoperative pain remains a significant problem in patients undergoing donor nephrectomy despite reduced tissue trauma following laparoscopic living (LLDN). Inadequately treated leads to physiological and psychological consequences, including chronic neuropathic pain. This randomized controlled double-blinded trial was conducted sixty-nine (n = 69) participants who underwent LLDN under general anesthesia. Participants were into Group B 34) C 35). received ultrasound-guided bilateral erector...

Background & Aims: Treatment of hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI), with terlipressin and albumin, provides survival benefit, but may be associated cardiopulmonary complications. We analysed the predictors response mortality using point-of-care echocardiography (POC-Echo), cardiac renal biomarkers. Approach: Between December 2021 January 2023, patients HRS-AKI were assessed POC-Echo lung ultrasound within 6h admission, at time starting terlipressin(48h), 72h. Volume expansion...

Background and Aim Echocardiographic assessment of the inferior vena cava diameter (IVCD) collapsibility index (IVCCI) is a noninvasive estimate intravascular volume status (IVS) but requires validation for cirrhosis. We evaluated IVC dynamics in cirrhosis correlated it with conventional tools such as central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary capillary wedge (PCWP), right atrial (RAP). Methods A total 673 consecutive cirrhotic patients were screened by echocardiography, 125 underwent heart...

Summary Background Point‐of‐care echocardiography (POC‐Echo) is an essential intensive care hemodynamic monitoring tool. Aims To assess POC‐Echo parameters [ i.e ., cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance (SVRI) and cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) markers] serum biomarkers in predicting circulatory failure (need for vasopressors) mortality patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver (ACLF) having sepsis‐induced hypotension. Methods We performed serial within 6 hours (h) of presentation...

Critically ill patients with cirrhosis and liver failure not uncommonly have hypotension due to multifactorial reasons, that include hyperdynamic state increased cardiac index, low systemic vascular resistance portal hypertension, following the use of beta blocker or diuretic therapy, severe sepsis. These changes are mediated by microvascular alterations in liver, inflammation, activation renin angiotensin aldosterone system, vasodilatation endothelial dysfunction. Hemodynamic assessment...
