| Sumario: | Thanya Limapichat, Krittapat Pattanapong Department of Emergency Medicine, Songklanagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Songkhla, ThailandCorrespondence: Thanya LimapichatDepartment of Emergency Medicine, Songklanagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Songkhla, 90110, ThailandTel +66 74-451705Fax +66 74-451704Email thanya_nl@yahoo.comObjective: To compare the effect of isotonic crystalloid solutions between lactated Ringer’s solution (LRS) and normal saline solution (NSS) on lactate clearance in septic patients at the emergency department (ED).Materials and Methods: This study is a single-center retrospective chart review. The study enrolled patients older than 18 years with sepsis and initial serum lactate level > 2 mg/dL in the ED. The primary outcome was to determine which isotonic solution was better for serum lactate clearance in septic patients. The secondary outcomes were serum creatinine change within 24 h and the 48-h survival rate after admission.Results: A total of 120 patients were enrolled with a median crystalloid volume administered in the ED of 1000 mL. Within 2 h of resuscitation, there was no difference in lactate clearance between the LRS and NSS groups with median values of 29.2% and 25%, respectively (P=0.839). The 48-h survival rate after admission did not differ between the LRS and NSS groups with median values of 90% and 86%, respectively. Both isotonic solutions increased serum creatinine levels within 24 h of treatment with median values of 0.3 for each group (P=0.647).Conclusion: Among septic patients in the ED treated with NSS or LRS, there was no difference in lactate clearance, serum creatinine change within 24 h, or 48-h survival. However, several factors were associated with increased lactate levels, such as older age and use of vasopressors and immunosuppressive agents.Keywords: lactate clearance, balance crystalloid, sepsis, NEWS |
