ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well a lung ultrasound score can predict the chance of breathing problems after a living liver transplant. The researchers want to see if this test can help doctors identify patients who may face complications in the days following their surgery, which is important for improving patient care and recovery.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult aged 21 to 60 who has just had a living liver transplant and is currently in the intensive care unit during the first day after surgery. Both men and women can join, but you won’t be eligible if you have any ongoing lung diseases before the surgery. If you participate, you can expect to have a lung ultrasound done to help assess your risk for any potential breathing issues. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather important information that could benefit future liver transplant patients.
