Rate of increase in serum lactate level risk-stratifies infants after surgery for congenital heart disease

Objective Increased blood lactate levels reflect tissue oxygen debt and might be indicative of low cardiac output. We hypothesized that the rate of increase in serum lactate would be an ideal marker to discriminate between infants at high and low risk of a poor outcome after surgical repair of conge...

Zusammenfassung:Objective Increased blood lactate levels reflect tissue oxygen debt and might be indicative of low cardiac output. We hypothesized that the rate of increase in serum lactate would be an ideal marker to discriminate between infants at high and low risk of a poor outcome after surgical repair of congenital heart disease using cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods In the present prospective, observational study in a pediatric cardiac intensive care unit, infants (aged
