Arteriovenous differences in lactate (AVLAC) across the lungs are usually small and close to zero. However, it has recently been reported that the lungs can produce increased amounts of lactate in some patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
The aim of this study was to evaluate lactate production in various types of acute lung injury requiring mechanical ventilatio…

Pulmonary lactate release in patients with sepsis and the adult respiratory dist…
PURPOSE: Elevated arterial lactate concentrations in patients with sepsis have been interpreted as evidence of peripheral, nonpulmonary tissue hypoxia. These patients often develop pulmonary failure manifested by the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). As the result of tissue hypoxia or inflammation, the lungs of patients with sepsis and ARDS may become a source of lactate release into the…

Acute respiratory distress syndrome: frequency, clinical course, and costs of ca…
OBJECTIVE: To define the occurrence rate of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using established criteria in a well-defined general patient population, to study the clinical course of ARDS when patients were ventilated using a \"lung-protective\" strategy, and to define the total costs of care.
DESIGN: A 3-yr (1993 through 1995) retrospective descriptive analysis of… |
