Oxygen saturation and lactate concentration gradient from the right atrium to the pulmonary artery in the immediate postoperative following cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation
Abstract:ObjectiveThis prospective study aimed to characterize the changes in blood lactate
concentration and blood oxygen saturation in patients during the immediate
postoperative period of cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation.MethodsBlood samples were collected from 35 patients in a rapid and random order
from the arterial line and from the proximal and distal port of a pulmonary
artery catheter.ResultsThe results showed no statistically significant differences between the blood
oxygen saturation in the ri… Show more
