373 WHAT ARE THE APPROPRIATE INDICATIONS OF RESECTION AND TRANSPLANTATION FOR HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA (HCC)?

MANAGEMENT) S145of 21 s (range 1-40 s) from the start of PEI with a median length of 35 s (range 12-260 s).A significant drop in the heart rate was seen in patients developing dysrhythmias with 47/min (median, range 35-72) in comparison with patients who did not develop dysrhythmias with 85/min (median, range 60-120) (p = 0.0001).Post-PEI blood ethanol levels, amount of instilled ethanol, tumor size and location were not different between patients with or without dysrhythmias. Conclusion:In this randomized controlled trial, pre-procedure atropine injection did not prevent the occurrence of bradyarrhythmias.Prophylactic use of atropine is not effective and therefore not recommended.
