Supports lactate as prognostic marker post-CPB; hypothesis-generating for whether reduction improves ICU-free days.
Does blood lactate level at 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass predict ICU-free survival days in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Blood lactate levels 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass, along with preoperative eGFR and MAP differences, are significant predictors of ICU-free survival days in cardiac surgery patients.
Noguchi et al. (2016) studied this question.
