METHODS This review included studies of adult patients undergoing major cardiac surgery,
including but not limited to coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair/replacement, and …

Background. High blood lactate levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are associated
with tissue hypoperfusion and may contribute to postoperative complications or death. The …

Induced hypothermia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation provides organ protection and is
currently considered standard of care in clinical practice. An increasing amount of reports …

Background Hyperlactatemia is a prominent feature of cardiogenic shock. It can be attributed
to increased tissue production of lactate related to dysoxia and to impaired utilization of …

Objective To evaluate the relationship between postoperative serum lactate levels and
outcome in children undergoing open heart surgery. Design Prospective, noninterventional …

Background: The accurate identification of patients who have the potential to further
deteriorate after cardiac surgery is difficult. Elevated serum lactate level after cardiac surgery …

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a significant complication following cardiac
surgery, associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. Despite its clinical …

BACKGROUND: Hyperlactatemia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a common event
and is associated to a high morbidity and mortality after cardiac operations. The present …

Conventional indices of tissue perfusion after surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass
(CPB) may not accurately reflect disordered cell metabolism. Venous hypercarbia leading to …

The relative contributions of oxygen delivery (DO2) and oxygen extraction (O2ER) to the
increase in cellular oxygen uptake ([latin capital V with dot above] O2) after cardiopulmonary …
