Assessment of changes in lactate concentration with intravascular microdialysis during high-risk cardiac surgery using the trend interchangeability method

Conclusions. Microdialysis with a central venous catheter appears to provide reliable absolute blood lactate values. Although changes in blood lactate measurements showed an excellent concordance rate, changes between the two methods were poorly interchangeable with the TIM.Clinical trial registration. NCT02296593.
