Monitoring and anesthetic induction
Anesthetic managements were performed according to the standardized institutional protocol, as described previouslyThe routine intraoperative laboratory measurements included arterial blood gas analysis (including lactate), cell blood count, and coagulation profile (prothrombin time [PT], activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT], and fibrinogen). They were regularly checked at the following time points: start of dissection phase (skin incision), start of the anhepatic phase, and 5/60/180 min after graft reperfusion, as described previously
