Clinical Trial: Thoracic Fluid Content and Acute Lung Injury
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: The Association of Thoracic Fluid Content and Acute Lung Injury in Liver Transplantation
Brief Summary: To study the association of the thoracic fluid content and acute lung injury during liver transplantation.
Detailed Summary: Acute lung injury is not uncommon after liver transplantation. A new monitor non-invasive cardiac output monitor (NICOM) is designed to measure thoracic fluid content. The investigators attempt to use the parameter thoracic fluid content to investigate its relationship with acute lung injury in liver transplant recipients.
