Abstract
The physiological changes seen in liver transplantation are the most dramatic encountered in any operation [1]. They include a sudden and prolonged reduction in venous return to the heart (while the inferior vena cava is clamped), heavy and often rapid blood loss and acute biochemical changes when the newly inserted liver is first perfused.
