Lactate Monitoring in Traumatic Long Bone Fractures Requiring Emergent Surgical Intervention

NCT05611398 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 164

Last updated 2022-11-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Serum lactate has been utilized as a standard in guiding management of orthopedic injuries. Elevated preoperative lactate has been associated with a higher likelihood of postoperative complications. However, lactate's role in guiding operative timing in non-critical long-bone fractures has not been previously explored. This study investigates lactate's role in guiding surgical timing and predicting complications secondary to delayed definitive correction in non-critical long-bone fractures with Injury Severity Score \<16.

Conditions

  • Lactate Blood Increase
  • Trauma Blunt
  • Trauma, Secondary
  • Injury Traumatic

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Orthopedic Surgery

A complete retrospective chart review was performed for all the patients' records and included all patients aged 18 years or higher who presented to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center with long bone fractures with Injury Severity Score \<16 and their repair and lactate levels at the time of surgery
