Monitoring during orthotopic liver transplantation routinely includes all of the following parameters EXCEPT:
a) Arterial blood gas analysis
b) Coagulation profile
c) Blood glucose level
d) Intracranial pressure
e) Ionized calcium level
Click for Answer
Answer
Answer d. Intracranial pressure monitoring would be very helpful for patients with hepatic failure (with or without OLT); however, there is considerable risk of insertion of a monitor into the cranium of a patient with coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia. At some centers this is performed, but it is not a routine monitor.
