title: [Anaesthesia in connection with liver transplantation].
abstract: The anaesthetic plan for liver transplantation focuses on maintaining central blood volume and thereby cerebral oxygenation. Normovolaemia represents a central blood volume that establishes a maximal venous oxygen saturation, and a value of 85% (78-90%) is maintained during the operation by administration of blood components. Treatment quality is expressed as a maintained central blood volume evaluated by transthoratic electrical impedance and a stable cerebral oxygenation (71% (67-82%)) as determined by near-infrared spectroscopy.
