Prognostic Value of Serial Lactate Measurement in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Patients with Congenital Heart Disease in Southeast Mexico

Incorporating early postoperative lactate into routine monitoring may allow timely therapeutic adjustments. Preoperative lactate assessment warrants further evaluation as a potential risk stratification tool.
