Using propofol for anesthesia in liver transplant surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of target-controlled infusion (TCI) propofol compared to isoflurane on intraoperative hemodynamics and postoperative liver and kidney functions in patients undergoing living donor liver transplants. The research aims to determine whether propofol's antioxidant properties can provide better outcomes in terms of organ protection during surgery. By analyzing the hemodynamic stability and recovery profiles associated with each anesthetic agent, the study seeks to enhance patient care in liver transplant procedures.
