Accuracy of a hand-held lactate meter in measuring umbilical cord blood lactate at all lactate levels
Objective: Fetal scalp lactate has largely replaced pH analysis to assess intrapartum hypoxia. Many obstetrics units use hand-held lactate meters to measure umbilical blood because of its affordability and ease of use. We sought to investigate the agreement of Lactate Pro with a reference method blood gas analyser and to determine its usefulness with a recommended cutoff value of 4.8 mmol/L. Me...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurements of lactate turnover rate and umbilical lactate uptake in the fetal lamb.
Lactic acid represents a major exogenous nutrient for the developing fetal lamb in utero. Our study was undertaken (a) to quantitate the net consumption of lactate by the fetus, (b) to quantitate the net lactate production and metabolism by the placenta, and (c) to compare the net fetal lactate consumption with fetal lactate use, measured simultaneously with radioactive tracers. 14 pregnant she...
متن کاملEvaluation of Creatine Kinase, Lactate Dehydrogenase, and Amylase Concentrations in Umbilical Blood of Preterm Infants after Long-Term Tocolysis
Creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and amylase levels of preterm infants following long-term tocolysis in pregnant women are limited. The objective of this study was to determine if the tocolytic therapy affects CK, LDH, and amylase levels in the umbilical blood. This study included 215 preterm infants born to women treated with and without ritodrine hydrochloride. CK, LDH, and ...
متن کاملLactate Fuels the Neonatal Brain
brain tissue. (2) Metabolic recovery pathways are fundamentally altered when lactate or hydroxybutyrate replaces glucose as the primary oxidative substrate. The implications of this study reach beyond enhancing our understanding of how the neonatal brain functions. While the observations that lactate can serve as a substrate for the neonatal brain confirms existing knowledge, the facts that it ...
متن کاملAttitudes towards the implementation of universal umbilical artery lactate analysis in a South African district hospital
BACKGROUND Of the 5.54 million stillbirths and neonatal deaths occurring globally each year, a significant amount of these occur in the setting of inadequate intrapartum care. The introduction of universal umbilical artery lactate (UA) measurements in this setting may improve outcomes by providing an objective measurement of quality of care and stimulating case reflection, audit, and practice c...
