Bedside Lung Ultrasound for Early Postoperative Risk Stratification for Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation After Liver Transplantation
Objectives: Pulmonary complications remain a major determinant of postoperative morbidity following liver transplantation and frequently lead to prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV). This study aimed to evaluate the value of lung ultrasound (LUS) for early postoperative risk stratification of PMV and to develop a mul...
