Can lactate levels and vasopressors use predict outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors?
No full textThe lactate concentration at admission after OHCA was not correlated
to the duration of ischemia but was associated with severe neurological impairment. However, this parameter showed a poor prognostic value for individual prognostication of brain injury, as
only a very high cut-off of lactate (16.3 mmol/L) could adequately predict an unfavorable neurological status after arrest. Lactate levels on arrival were independent prognostic factors for OHCA,
in association with ammonia levels. Also, persisting
hyperlactatemia (>2 mmol/L) over 48 hours after CA independently predicted a poor prognosis in this population
