Brief summary

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.

Interventions

OTHERIVC diameters evaluation by intraoperative ultrasound

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

Study design

Observational model

COHORT

Time perspective

RETROSPECTIVE

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
