Hyperlactataemia Following Crystalloid Cardiopulmonary Bypass Priming in Paediatric Cardiac Surgery—Benign or Malignant? A Retrospective Study
In this study population, transient postoperative hyperlactataemia in paediatric patients with crystalloid prime may not necessarily indicate tissue hypoxaemia. Despite a similar duration of ventilation in patients with and without hyperlactataemia, patients with hyperlactataemia had a longer duration of inotropes and ICU stay. Consideration should be given to discontinuing inotropes in patients with crystalloid prime and postoperative early hyperlactataemia once they are extubated.
