Core Tip	This retrospective study identified a novel J-shaped association between intraoperative central venous pressure (CVP) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in 426 pediatric living-donor liver transplant recipients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that each 1-unit increase in CVP was associated with a 9% reduction in PPC risk [odds ratio (OR) = 0.91, 95% confidence interval: 0.85-0.97, P = 0.007], with the strongest association observed at CVP < 9.3 cmH2O (OR = 0.834, P = 0.0006). These findings may provide insight into CVP as a modifiable factor for PPC mitigation in pediatric transplantation.
