APACHEⅡscore 24 h and 72 h after entering ICUs predicted mortality with an area under the ROC curve(AUC) standing respectively at 0.919 and 0.9SS.Arterial blood lactate clearance rate 12 h, 24 h,48 h and 72 h after entering ICUs predicted mortality with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) at 0.918,0.918,0.909 and 0.991,respectively.Conclusions:APACHEⅡscore applied in combination with arterial blood lactate clearance rate is of clinical significance in assessing the prognosis of ARDS patients.展开更多

There is no specifi c antidote for the treatment of acute Al P poisoning. Early diagnosis of poisoning and outcome predictors may facilitate treatment decisions. The objective of this study was to determine the trend of blood lactate level in acute Al P poisoning to evaluate its role as a prognostic factor.METHODS: This was a prospective study on acute Al P intoxicated patients during one year. Demographic data, clinical and laboratory data on admission, and outcome were recorded in a selfmade questionnaire. Blood lactate levels were analyzed every two hours for 24 hours.RESULTS: Thirty-nine(27 male, 12 female) patients were included in the study. The mortality rate was 38.5%. The mean blood pressure, pulse rate, blood p H and serum bicarbonate level were significantly different between the survivors and non-survivors groups. Blood lactate level was signifi cantly higher in the non-survivors group during 8 to 16 hours post ingestion.CONCLUSION: Blood lactate level could be used as an index of severity of acute Al P poisoning.展开更多

Many obstetrics units use hand-held lactate meters to measure umbilical blood because of its affordability and ease of use. We sought to investigate the agreement of Lactate ProTM with a reference method blood gas analyser and to determine its usefulness with a recommended cutoff value of 4.8 mmol/L. Methods: Prospective study carried out at a tertiary institution where 237 arterial and 233 venous samples from umbilical cords of 16 elective caesarean and 285 emergency deliveries were measured using Lactate ProTM and ABL735 Sesries Acid-Base analyser. Limits of agreement were analysed using Bland-Altman plots. Results: Lactate ProTM differentiated fewer deliveries as “high risk” (≥4.8 mmol/L) and more as “low risk” (<2.2 mmol/L). Limits of agreement for lactate values (as measured by Lactate ProTM) were –1.46 - 0.97 mmol/L for arterial lactate levels <4.8 mmol/L and –3.21 - 0.88 mmol/L for arterial lactate levels ≥ 4.8 mmol/L. Conclusion: There was a poorer agreement between the two devices at higher lactate values. Lactate ProTM underestimates by up to 3.2 mmol/L;a 4.8 mmol/L reading may actually signify a lactate level of 8.0 mmol/L, indicating severe metabolic acidosis. We caution the use of this device in assessing fetal lactate levels.展开更多

Objectives: To evaluate and analyze the aerobic capacity of elite Congolese karate athletes, as well as their haemodynamic and blood lactate concentrations responses changes during Ruffier test and stimulated competition. Methods: Twelve karate athletes (6 seniors and 6 juniors) took part in the study. These karate athletes were selected within the national karate teams (senior and junior) of Congo-Brazzaville. Anthropometric, bioenergetic and haemodynamic (HR, SBP, DBP) parameters and blood lactate [La] concentrations were measured at rest, immediately after the end of Ruffier test and each fight (n = 3). Results: Peak aerobic power (PAP) and maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) values averaged 437 ± 23 watts and 57.61 ± 2.2 ml/kg/mn, values varying as function as age division (senior vs junior). The recovery index was 5.4 ± 3.4 for juniors and 6.8 ± 3.2 for seniors. SBP, HR and [La] concentrations increased significantly during fights, compared to the resting values. HRmax was 182.3 ± 1.6 bpm (89% theoretical HRmax) for seniors and 182.0 ± 13.5 bpm (86% theoretical HRmax) for juniors. Peak [La] concentrations were 10.3 ± 1.5 mmol/l for seniors and 10.8 ± 1.2 mmol/l for juniors. Conclusion: Congolese karate athletes call upon high levels of the anaerobic and aerobic capacities. The karate training program in Congo should emphasize more gold improvising lower body anaerobic power and endurance.展开更多

Method: This is a randomized study including 30 patients. Blood lactate and mixed venous oxygen saturation were measured in 4 groups of patients—number of grafts, presence or absence of left main coronary artery disease, ejection fraction and serum creatinine. Blood samples were taken before induction, after grafting, on intensive care unit admission, 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery. The measured blood lactate and mixed venous oxygen saturation are compared to assess the outcomes in terms of duration of ventilation and intensive care unit stay. Results: The blood lactate and mixed venous oxygen saturation values increased post operatively but no statistically significant difference in three groups— number of grafts, left main coronary artery disease and ejection fraction. In serum creatinine group, the blood lactate value was found to be statistically significant after grafting in patients with creatinine <1.5 mg/dl, however, there was a significant disparity in numbers. Conclusion: Mixed venous oxygen saturation is a better predictor of morbidity than blood lactate in terms of intensive care unit stay in patients undergoing off pump coronary artery bypass grafting.展开更多

The arterial blood lactate level 1 d before treatment and 6 h after treatment was detected. The early lactate clearance was evaluated. The patients were divided into the severe elevation group, mild elevation group, and normal control group according to the blood lactate level. APACHEⅡ score, 28 d death rate, and other clinical related indicators in the three groups were compared. According to the early lactate clearance, the patients were divided into the high lactate clearance group and low lactate clearance group. The arterial blood lactate level, APACHEⅡ score, death rate, and arterial blood gas indicators in the two groups were compared. The multiple-factor analysis of prognosis was performed.Results:With the increasing of blood lactate concentration before treatment, APACHEⅡ score, mechanical ventilation time, ventilation rate, hospitalization time, and death rate were gradually elevated, and the comparison among the three groups was not statistically significant. When compared with before treatment, the arterial blood lactate level, APACHEⅡ score, and PaCO2 in the high lactate clearance group were significantly reduced, but PaO2 and pH were significantly elevated, while PaO2 in the low lactate clearance group was significantly elevated. The death rate in the high lactate clearance group was significantly lower than that in the low lactate clearance group. The early lactate clearance was a factor in protecting the prognosis in patients with COPD merged with respiratory failure.Conclusions:The arterial blood lactate level and early lactate clearance can affect the prognosis in patients with COPD merged with respiratory failure. Dynamic monitoring of early blood lactate level can better evaluate the disease severity degree and prognosis.展开更多
