Abstract Background Hyperlactatemia is associated with a poor prognosis in cardiac surgery patients. This study explored the impact of target blood pressure management during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on blood lactate..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction and objectives Lactate and its evolution are associated with the prognosis of patients in shock, although there is little evidence in those assisted with an extracorporeal venoarterial oxygenation..
Read MoreAbstract Background: CO2-derived parameters are increasingly used to identify either low-flow status or anaerobic metabolism in shock resuscitation. However, the performance of CO2-derived parameters in cardiac surgical patients is poorly understood...
Read MoreAbstract Background: Hyperlactacidemia seriously affects the prognosis of cardiac surgery patients. This study was to explore the impact of target blood pressure management during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on blood lactate..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To examine the sensitivity and specificity of perioperative lactate gradients for the prediction of subsequent development in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Design Retrospective, single-center, case-control study. Setting University hospital...
Read MoreAbstract Background A change of serum lactate concentrations appeared to be useful for predicting outcomes in various acute ill settings. However, there is little information on intraoperative change of lactate..
Read MoreAbstract Background Lactate has been recognised as a in several critical conditions. Veno-Venous (VV-ECMO) is a well-established therapy in patients with Syndrome (ARDS) unresponsive to conventional therapy and pre ECMO initiation has been recently..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery is associated with metabolic changes after operation and results inter alia in increased levels of lactate and bilirubin. Since prediction of the course..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative cardiac dysfunction cause splanchnic hypoperfusion resulting in intra-abdominal anaerobic metabolism and risk for gastrointestinal complications. The intra-abdominal metabolism can be monitored by intraperitoneal measurement..
Read MoreAbstract Following cardiac surgery, hyperlactatemia due to anaerobic metabolism is associated with an increase in both morbidity and mortality. We previously found that an elevated respiratory quotient (RQ) predicts anaerobic..
