Why the study?
High lactate concentration indicates perioperative tissue hypoxia, making blood lactate monitoring essential in surgical cancer patients.
Does persistent perioperative hyperlactatemia predict postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery?
Does persistent perioperative hyperlactatemia predict postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery?
Persistent perioperative hyperlactatemia in colorectal cancer surgery is associated with an increased risk of major complications and prolonged hospital stay, but does not predict 5-year mortality.
May identify higher-risk colorectal surgery patients; hypothesis-generating for lactate-guided interventions in prospective trials.
High lactate concentration is a sign of tissue hypoxia in the perioperative period. Therefore, close monitoring of blood lactate is essential in cancer patients undergoing surgery. The first aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting the perioperative consistently high lactate levels in patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery.
