A study on effect of lactate versus acetate-based intravenous fluids on acid-base balance in patients undergoing free flap reconstructive surgeries in India
Abstract:Introduction: Fluid therapy is very important in managing the recovery of patients from major surgery and trauma. Postoperative fluid management comprises maintenance of fluid, replacement of on-going losses and correction of anemia or hypovolemia. Use of lactated intravenous fluids during long surgeries could cause lactate accumulation and lactic acidosis. We evaluated the comparative effects of administration of lactated versus no lactated solutions on serum lactate levels in patients undergoing free flap su… Show more
