BACKGROUND/AIMS: Liver transplantation (OLT) is a valid therapeutic option for patients
with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). The most critical phase during OLT is considered to be
graft reperfusion, where in large changes in patient homeostasis occur. The aims of the
present study were to evaluate the hemodynamic and cardiac changes among a large
series of patients with FHF, to determine independent clinical predictors of the occurrence of
postreperfusion syndrome (PSR) and its relationship to clinical and hemodynamic …
