Pulmonary artery catheter monitoring versus arterial waveform-based monitoring during liver transplantation: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Although pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has been used during liver transplantation surgery, the usefulness of PAC has rarely been investigated. We evaluated whether the use of PAC is associated with better clinical outcomes compared to arterial waveform-based monitoring after liver transplantation. A total of 1565 cases undergoing liver transplantation were reviewed. We determined whether patients received PAC or not and divided our cohort into the PAC with hemodynamic monitoring using PAC and the non-PAC with arterial waveform-based monitoring using FloTrac-Vigileo. Propensity score matching was performed. Acute kidney injury (AKI), early allograft dysfunction (EAD) and 1-year all-cause mortality or graft failure were compared in the matched cohorts. Logistic regression analysis was perf
