Abstract
Objective To compare the effects of different levels of controlled low central venous pressure (CVP) on blood loss in patients undergoing hepatic lobectomy. Methods One hundred ASAⅠ -Ⅱ patients, aged 28-78 yr, weighing 39-90 kg, undergoing elective hepatic lobectomy under general anesthesia, were randomly divided into S groups ( n = 20 each) with CVP controlled at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm Hg during the course of operationrespectively (groups CVP1-5 ) . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, fentanyl, etomidate and vecuronium. The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of propofol and remifentanil, inhalation of isoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium. CVP was maintained at the predetermined levels by restricted infusion or by administration of diuretics or vasoactive agents and so on during operation. The blood loss before, during and after removal of the diseased liver parenchyma ( V1-3 ) was recorded.The liver parenchyma transection area ( TA) was determined and the blood loss per transaction area ( VTA ) was calculated. Fluid infusion and blood transfusion were recorded during the three time periods mentioned above. MAP and HR were recorded before operation, at 5 min after removal of the diseased liver parenchyma was started and at the end of operation. Results Compared with group CVP5, the MAP during removal of the diseased liver parenchyma in groups CVP1,2 , V2 and VTA in groups CVP1-3,and the percentage of patients who needed blood transfusion during operation and the amount of fluid infused before completion of removal of the diseased liver parenchyma in groups CVP1-4 were significantly decreased ( P < 0.05) . Compared with group CVP4 , V2 , VTA and MAP during removal of the diseased liver parenchyma were significantly decreased in group CVP2 and the amount of fluid infused was significantly increased before removal of the diseased liver parenchyma was completed in group CVP,( P < 0.05) .Conclusion When CVP is controlled at 3 mm Hg, the hemodynamics is stable and blood loss is less during hepatic lobectomy.
