Predictive factors and interventions for prolonged mechanical ventilation after liver transplantation / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Despite the great improvements in the techniques and perioperative management of liver transplantation in recent years, there are still several perioperative complications that may lead to the poor prognosis of recipients. Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) is a common complication in the early stage after surgery and may result in a high incidence rate of postoperative complications, prolonged length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital stay, and an increase in mortality rate. In recent years, many studies have reported PMV after liver transplantation, but no summarization and statistical analysis have been performed and there are still no effective measures to prevent PMV after liver transplantation. This article summarizes the influencing factors and interventions for PMV after liver transplantation, in order to provide valuable information for reducing the duration of mechanical ventilation after liver transplantation and improving the prognosis of liver transplantation recipients.
