Comparing two methods to reduce blood loss during open liver surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using stroke volume variation (SVV) is better than central venous pressure (CVP) to guide fluid management and reduce bleeding during open liver surgery. It aims to find a safer way to manage fluids during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been scheduled for open liver surgery to remove a tumor (hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, liver metastasis, or a benign malignant tumor).
- Your physical health status (ASA) is classified as I, II, or III, meaning you are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health issues.
- Your tumor is not larger than 10 cm (about 4 inches).

This study tests a procedure called portal vein embolization (PVE) to help grow the healthy part of the liver before surgery. It may be an option for people with certain liver cancers who need more healthy liver tissue before their operation.
This trial tests a new way to control blood flow during laparoscopic liver surgery. It compares two methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients with certain liver conditions.
This study looks at a customized blood-pressure and fluid strategy to help patients during laparoscopic liver tumor removal. It may help reduce complications related to blood loss and organ stress during surgery.
This trial tests whether measuring pressure changes in your veins and arteries during surgery can help doctors give you the right amount of fluids. It may reduce complications and improve recovery after liver surgery.
This study looks at ways to reduce the need for blood transfusions during major liver surgery. It uses a technique to carefully manage blood loss, which may help you avoid needing donor blood.
This trial tests a procedure to lower blood loss during liver transplant for patients with high blood pressure in the liver. It may help those who have had a previous transplant, abdominal surgery, or certain complications of liver disease.
