A Software-Guided Approach to Hemodynamic Management in a Renal Transplant Recipient: A Case Report

Abstract

The function of renal allografts in the perioperative period is partly dependent on minimizing hemodynamic instability. We have developed hemodynamic monitoring software - named the "pressure field" - that was utilized in a 68-year-old high-risk kidney transplant recipient. The "pressure field" was used to individualize fluid and drug administration and replicate the preoperative hemodynamics. The patient received net zero fluid intraoperatively and had an uneventful postoperative course. We found the pressure field method helpful to manage perioperative hemodynamics in this high-risk patient.
