Intraoperative measurement of the respiratory exchange ratio predicts postoperative complications after liver transplantation
Abstract Background During surgery, any mismatch between oxygen delivery (DO2) and consumption (VO2) can promote the development of postoperative complications. The respiratory exchange ratio (RER), defined as the ratio of carbon dioxide (CO2) production (VCO2) to VO2, may be a useful noninvasive to...
