Filter by:The purpose of this single center, randomized, control, open-labeled study is to evaluate the effect and safety of RCA versus no anticoagulation for CRRT in hyperlactatemia patients with increased bleeding risk.
Lactate is formed naturally in the body in example during physical activity. However, lactate is also formed during food fermentation where certain bacterial strains form lactate. Lactate can also be produced chemically. An example of this is Ringer-lactate which is used for volume replacement when treating dehydrated patients. As a source of carbon-molecules, lactate is believed to be an important oxidative fuel source in all major organs and yields adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production through Krebs cycle, the Electron Transport Chain in the mitochondria as well as by being a key precursor for gluconeogenesis. Metformin is the first drug of choice for type 2 diabetes treatment. Use of metformin often results in a small but significant weight loss in overweight users. It is known that metformin increases the lactate concentration in the gut. It is also known also know that metformin use is associated with an increase in blood concentrations of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15). Receptors for GDF-15 can be found in parts of the brain associated with control of appetite. In rats increases in [GDF-15] results in a decrease in appetite and thus weight loss. GDF-15 is thought to be involved in the normal energy homeostasis. With this study the investigators want to examine the hormonal, metabolic and mechanical effects of lactate in the gut in healthy volunteers. Our hypothesis is that lactate has beneficial effects which may be though an increase in GDF-15 in the blood. Volunteers will undergo two study days separated by at least 7 days and a maximum of 1 month. - On day one volunteers will drink a sodium-lactate solution (intervention). The investigators will also administrate 1500mg paracetamol to assess gastric emptying and do blood samples over 4 hours. The investigators measure [lactate] every 15 min. Every hour the investigators will ask volunteers questions regarding hunger and thoughts of future food intake (questionnaire). After 4 hours of blood sampling the investigators will serve volunteers an all-you-can-eat meal of sandwich and measure how must they ate. - On day two volunteers will drink a sodium chloride solution. Furthermore, the investigators administrate intravenous D/L sodium lactate in order to reach the same plasma [lactate] on day 2 as was done on day 1. The rest of day two is identical to day 1.
The study was to compare blood Lactate levels between ear lobe and finger against venous forearm blood sample using the electronic hand held lactate device in hip fracture patients with good cognitive function (AMT >/= 7)
Evaluation of the effect of peri-operative continuation of oral metformin therapy on the incidence of perioperative hyperglycemia compared to standard preoperative cessation of oral metformin therapy 24h before surgery.
This study investigates the effect of lactate infusion on epileptic discharges on EEG and seizure frequency in glucose transporter 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS) patients.
The aim of our study is to find out whether high doses of vitamin C before cardiopulmonary bypass and during the first 24 hours after that have and impact of lowering the incidence of hyperlactatemia.
Deep ocean mineral water has been shown to improve exercise phenotypes in human and animal models. However, there is yet to be an investigation of Algae species such as Lithothamnion that absorb and concentrate these minerals. Therefore, the AAP trial will investigate the effect of water soluble Lithothamnion species on exhaustive exercise-induced blood lactate accumulation, recovery and power output in trained cyclists.
This is a randomized controlled clinical trial which investigates whether goal directed fluid therapy( GDT ) would show the evidence of benefit from GDT in terms of lactate kinetics then may reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing spine surgery, especially in prone positions.
In the pre-hospital setting, the severity assessment of septic shock is essential to decide the optimal initial in-hospital level of care. As clinical signs can be faulted, there is a need for an additional element in order to enhance the severity assessment and to decide in-hospital admission in the intensive care unit (ICU) or in the emergency department (ED). Point of care medical device yielding blood lactate levels since the pre-hospital setting may give an easy and valuable element for the severity assessment and the decision-making. The aim of this study is to provide clinical evidence that the pre-hospital blood lactate level predicts the 30-day mortality of patients with septic shock.
Persistent hyperlactatemia has been traditionally considered as representing tissue hypoxia, and lactate normalization is recommended as a resuscitation target by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC). However, other sources contribute to hyperlactatemia such as sustained adrenergic activity and impaired lactate clearance. Only hypoperfusion-related hyperlactatemia might be reversed by optimizing systemic blood flow. Fluid resuscitation (FR) is used to improve cardiac output (CO) in septic shock to correct hypoperfusion. Nevertheless, if persistent hyperlactatemia is not hypoxia-related, excessive FR could lead to flow overload. In addition, kinetics of recovery of lactate is relatively slow, and thus it might be a suboptimal target for FR. Peripheral perfusion appears as a promising alternative target. Abnormal capillary refill time (CRT) is frequently used as trigger for FR in septic shock. Studies demonstrated the strong prognostic value of persistent abnormal peripheral perfusion, and some recent data suggest that targeting FR on CRT normalization could be associated with less fluid loading and organ dysfunctions. The excellent prognosis associated with CRT recovery, the rapid-response time to fluid loading, its simplicity, and its availability in resource-limited settings, constitute a strong background to promote studies evaluating its usefulness to guide FR . The study hypothesis is that a CRT-targeted FR is associated with less positive fluid balances, organ dysfunctions, and at least similar improvement of tissue hypoperfusion or hypoxia, when compared to a lactate-targeted FR. To test this hypothesis, the investigators designed a clinical physiological, randomized controlled trial in septic shock patients. Recruited patients will be randomized to FR aimed at normalizing CRT or normalizing or decreasing lactate >20% every 2 h during the study period. Fluid challenges (500 ml in 30 min intervals) will be repeated until perfusion target is achieved, or dynamic predictors of fluid responsiveness become negative, or a safety limit is reached. The design of our study is aimed at: a) determining if CRT targeted resuscitation is associated with less fluid resuscitation and fluid balances; b) determining if this strategy is associated with less organ dysfunctions; and c) if it results in similar improvement in markers of tissue hypoperfusion or hypoxia such as hepato-splanchnic blood flow or microcirculatory perfusion.
