title: [Management of hyperkalemia-induced cardiac arrest in anhepatic stage of orthotopic liver transplantation without venovenous bypass: report of 3 cases].
abstract: The causes of high serum potassium-induced cardiac arrest in anhepatic stage of orthotopic liver transplantation were analyzed in 3 cases without venovenous bypass, and the effectiveness of insulin was evaluated in correcting hyperkalemia during the anhepatic stage. To improve the survival rate of patients with such cardiac arrest, early cardiopulmonary resuscitation and timely defibrillation should be performed.
