Lactate elevations were associated with intraoperative oxygen deficit in high-risk surgery; hypothesis-generating for serial monitoring to guide therapy.
Do sequential perioperative lactate determinations correlate with physiological parameters in high-risk surgical patients?
Perioperative lactate determinations may help titrate postoperative therapy to support physiological compensations for intraoperative oxygen deficits in high-risk surgical patients.
Waxman et al. (1982) studied this question.
