Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Prolonged corrected QT interval (QTc) has been observed in about half of patients with liver cirrhosis. Marked prolongation of QTc (ie, 500 msec) has been considered to be a risk factor for fatal ventricular arrhythmia, such as torsade de pointes,7,8 which has been reported in liver transplantation (LT) surgery. In a previous study, prolonged QTc interval ( 500 msec) was frequently observed throughout the procedure of LT, even among patients with baseline QTc 440 msec. Therefore, it is important to optimize electrolyte balance and hemodynamic status to reduce greater risk of perioperative arrhythmias.

The investigators hypothesized that the change of QTc interval might be differ according to method of general anesthesia (inhalation agent vs. intravenous agent).

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Arm 1: inhalation anesthesia (desflurane) group Arm 2: total intravenous anesthesia (propofol) group
Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
patients will be randomly allocated to 2 groups using computer-generated randomization method. Care provider will not be blinded to the group allocation, because anesthesiologists should be aware of the method of anesthesia.
