✦ Synopsis

Liver transplantation is associated with major shifts in central blood volume; therefore, monitoring preload is essential. Filling pressures (central venous pressure or pulmonary artery occlusion pressure) do not reflect preload [right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV) or left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)] well because these pressures are affected not just by preload but also by changes in compliance of the heart. These compliance changes can be quite significant because of the changes in chest volume that are the result of surgical retraction
