Secondary data analysis reports neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients receiving extracorporeal resuscitation, indicating serial lactate clearance predicts recovery.
Serial evaluations of lactate concentration may be more useful in predicting outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) than a single measurement. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of lactate clearance (LC) on clinical and neurologic outcomes in patients with OHCA who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).
