Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are infants under one year of age who are undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients undergoing ambulatory or cardiac surgery, or those with preoperative hemodynamic instability or weighing less than 2 kg, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to determine the relationship between veinous lactate levels measured at the end of surgical procedures and the occurrence of postoperative complications in infants aged 0-1 years. Blood samples will be collected routinely before the emergence from general anesthesia to assess lactate levels. The hypothesis is that higher lactate levels may correlate with an increased risk of complications within three months post-surgery, similar to findings in adult populations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify infants at higher risk for postoperative complications, allowing for better monitoring and management.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using lactate levels to predict complications has been established in adults, this specific application in infants is novel and has not been extensively tested.
