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 …

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 …

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 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 …

Dec 30, 2010 · Patient demographics, injury characteristics, admission physiology, base deficit, and prothrombin times are shown in Table 1. Records of 2,497 (44%) patients had a complete …
