Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the correlation between the prognosis and the early lactate clearance in patients with hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock.
Methods Prospective observation and collecting the data of 92 patients with hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock. APACHE II score, the mortality and the lactate clearance after 6hours were measured. The patients were analyzed with respect to survival and nonsurvival, low lactate clearance and high lactate clearance.
Results There was no statistical difference between the two groups in age, sex, APACHE II score and the baseline of lactate. The early lactate clearance in survival group was significantly more than that in the nonsurvival group, (29.8±15.2)% vs (9.8±9.1)%, P<0.01. The mortality was in high lactate clearance group significantly less than that in the low lactate group, 11.3% vs 42.9%, P<0.01.
Conclusion The early lactate clearance is a good prognostic factor of hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock.
