Excerpt

Profound hemodynamic changes seen in acute liver failure (ALF) resemble those found in later stages of septic shock. Vasopressor support is frequently required and indiscriminate fluid resuscitation can worsen intracranial hypertension (ICH) and lung injury. Markers of preload dependency have thus far not been studied in this patient group and response to dynamic manoeuvres such as passive leg raising or end expiratory hold cannot be considered safe due to the high incidence of ICH. …
