Why the study?
The relationship between hyperlactatemia and prognosis after cardiopulmonary bypass is controversial, and studies often ignore the presence of lactic acidosis in severe hyperlactatemia.
Is lactic acidosis associated with an increased risk of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in patients after cardiopulmonary bypass?
Is lactic acidosis associated with an increased risk of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in patients after cardiopulmonary bypass?
Lactic acidosis at 8 hours post-ICU admission is a significant risk factor for the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following cardiopulmonary bypass.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Lactic acidosis may flag higher MODS risk after CPB; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding care.
Zheng et al. (2024) studied this question.
