Blood Lactate as a Prognosticator of Survival Following Hemorrhage in Conscious Swine.

Abstract

Arterial blood lactate concentration at the end of hemorrhage was evaluated as a predictor of survival following fixed volume hemorrhage in unmedicated chronically instrumented immature swine. Following hemorrhage lactate was elevated compared to basal values. Animals lived (n=71) with a lactate of 43.9 + or - 37.1mg/dl compared to 106.5 + or - 40.4 mg/dl for animals that died (n=66). Lactate concentration at the end of hemorrhage successfully predicted survival (80.3%). Keywords: blood loss; shock.
