Lactate in Cardiac Arrest

NCT02352350 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2017-10-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Blood lactate levels will be measured using a simple handheld device at time of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Patient outcomes tracked will include rate of survival to hospital discharge, rate of 6 month survival, and neurological status. The hypothesis for this pre-hospital study is to confirm the previous in-hospital findings that very high blood lactate after ROSC is associated with very high mortality and severe neurological impairment.
