Popis: Plasma ionized calcium and citrate concentrations were measured in 11 patients undergoing liver transplantation. During the anhepatic phase of the procedure, ionized calcium concentrations fell to as low as 40% of normal, in spite of calcium supplementation. Simultaneously, citrate concentrations rose to between 20 and 100 times preoperative levels. In two patients low plasma ionized calcium concentrations were associated with hypotension that responded to calcium infusion. Intraoperative monitoring of plasma ionized calcium during liver transplantation is helpful in the rational control of the patient's calcium status.
