Why the study?
Pathological processes, surgical stress, and extracorporeal circulation cause hyperlactatemia, but the impact of maximum lactate levels in cardiac surgery patients required determination.
Does hyperlactatemia increase immediate intraoperative and postoperative complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Does hyperlactatemia increase immediate intraoperative and postoperative complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Elevated early intraoperative lactate levels after cardiac surgery are associated with increased complications, highlighting the need for monitoring to anticipate adverse outcomes.
