Serum lactate levels and perfusion index: are these prognostic factors on mortality and morbidity in very low-birth weight infants?

Abstract: High lactate levels (> 4 mg/dl) and low PI (< 0.5) could be used as early parameters for prediction of ROP and BPD. This data suggests that in VLBW infants lactate levels and PI parameters during the first 24 h will be effective in determining the prognosis of the disease. We believe that larger, randomized controlled clinical trials are likely to establish the true benefit.

“…Some studies reported that high lactate levels and low pH in cord blood within the first day of life predict mortality in premature infants (31,32). Conversely, other studies found no association between umbilical cord acidemia and adverse outcomes in those born at <32 weeks (33,34). Gaudier et al, reported that 1 and 5 min Apgar scores were better predictors of survival than umbilical artery blood gases in 1,073 infants weighing 500-1,000 g at birth (35).…”

“…The PI monitoring device with its detector embedded in a pulse oximetry probe can analyze those changes based on the amplitude of the plethysmographic wave (PPGA). PI is a calculated ratio of the pulsatile signal (AC) to the nonpulsatile signal (DC), as expressed in percentage (AC/DC × 100), and it enables the PPGA to be quantified. There are large inter‐individual variations of PI ranging from 0.02 to 20 .…”
