Abstract

Objective. To determine the predictor significance of serum lactate concentration as a marker of adrenaline-induced hyperlactatemia in patients undergoing surgical correction of heart valves defects.

Material and methods. A retrospective cohort study involving 1020 patients initially operated on heart valves, divided into two groups depending on the profile of inotropic support: the dobutamine group (n = 495) and the adrenaline group (n = 525). The study excluded patients whose intra- and early postoperative period was complicated by the development of acute heart failure, organ dysfunction, and blood loss of more than 1000 ml. A comparative analysis of the serum lactate concentration after the end of the operation and its maximum concentration in the first postoperative day was performed, and their predictor significance as a marker of adrenaline-induced hyperlactatemia was revealed on the basis of regression analysis.

Results. In the adrenaline group higher serum lactate concentrations were observed after the operation, 5.1 ± 3.4 mmol/l versus 1.7 ± 1.4 mmol/l in the dobutamine group (p < 0.0001), and its maximum concentration in the first postoperative day, 8.7 ± 5.0 mmol/l versus 3.0±2.7 mmol/l in the dobutamine group (p < 0.0001). As a marker of adrenaline-induced hyperlactatemia, the concentration of serum lactate after surgery was 2.6 mmol/l with a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 80% (AUC 0.87; CI 0.85–0.9) and the maximum level of lactatemia in the first postoperative day of 7.1 mmol/l with a sensitivity of 61%, specificity of 90% (AUC 0.8; CI 0.78–0.83).

Conclusion. In the case of uncomplicated course of intraoperative and early postoperative periods during inotropic adrenaline support in patients operated on heart valves, hyperlactatemia with a serum lactate concentration after the operation of 2.6 mmol/l and its maximum concentration on the first postoperative day of 7.1 mmol/l has an adrenaline-induced character.
