Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

To demonstrate that intraoperative low-dose supplementation of AVP induces a reduction in post-transplant AKI after liver transplantation.

Secondary objectives 1

  1. To compare the two arms in terms of number of packed red blood cells, platelets and fresh frozen plasma, vascular filling solutions transfused intraoperatively and during the first 12 hours postoperatively, need for renal replacement for replacement therapy (RRT) in ICU, average intraoperative norepinephrine and other vasopressors and inotropes concentrations sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA score) on the third postoperative day length of stay in intensive care unit, and mortality at 30 days
