Serum lactate and base deficit are markers of tissue ischemia and are used to assess the adequacy of resuscitation. Recent reports have shown that they are also useful markers …

Mar 1, 1997 · Initial serum lactate > 4.5 mmol/l has been found to predict mortality in children following cardiopulmonary bypass for open heart surgery [1]. Since in our experience initial …

Mar 7, 2005 · Base deficit (BD) quantifies a metabolic acidosis without defining aetiology. Factors contributing to a metabolic acidosis include lactic acid and unmeasured anions (together …

Jul 8, 2005 · Introduction The base deficit is a useful tool for quantifying total acid–base derangement, but cannot differentiate between various aetiologies. The Stewart–Fencl …

Dec 20, 2002 · Esophageal–arterial PCO 2 gap increases during graded hemorrhagic hypotension and returns to baseline value after resuscitation without complete reversal of the …

Renaissance of base deficit for the initial assessment of trauma patients: a base deficit-based classification for hypovolemic shock developed on data from 16,305 patients derived from the …

Mar 16, 2015 · Patients who undergo major oncology surgery are under high risk to develop postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), mainly due to inflammatory and ischemic insults. This …

Mar 21, 2006 · The evaluation of cellular metabolism in the critically ill patient, through measurement of the arterial lactate and arterial base deficit parameters, has proved to be a …

Dec 1, 2015 · Equally, imperfect proxies of tissue hypoperfusion such as base deficit, confusion or oliguria are inadequate in isolation to define septic shock [16]. Similarly, we currently lack a …

Mar 21, 2000 · A metabolic acidosis was defined as being present if the base deficit (BD) was ≥ 5 mmol/l and was chosen rather than pH since it better defines the metabolic component of an …
