Intraoperative Pulse Pressure Variation and Postoperative Lactate Clearance in CABG Patients

Official title: Evaluation of the Relationship Between Intraoperative Pulse Pressure Variation and Postoperative Lactate Clearance in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Run by University of Gaziantep · NCT07871188 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether the amount a patient’s pulse pressure varies during surgery relates to how quickly lactate levels drop after CABG.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-80 undergoing elective CABG with invasive arterial monitoring and mechanical ventilation.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose PPV does not relate to lactate clearance or whose data are missing may not benefit from predictive use of PPV in this context.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational cohort at Gaziantep University Hospital involving adults undergoing elective CABG. Researchers will record intraoperative pulse pressure variation (PPV) and measure lactate levels at ICU admission and at 6 and 12 hours after surgery. They aim to see if PPV correlates with lactate clearance postoperatively, using data collected as part of routine care. No extra interventions are performed beyond standard clinical management. Patients with conditions that affect PPV reliability or with incomplete data are excluded.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If a link is found, PPV during surgery could help predict postoperative lactate clearance and guide intraoperative management.

How similar studies have gone: Prior observational work in surgical patients has explored PPV and hemodynamic outcomes, with mixed results; this study adds a focused look at lactate clearance in CABG.
