The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between pH, base deficit, and lactate values when comparing venous and arterial blood samples in the pediatric population.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
50
A bedside point-of-care device is routinely used in the operating room to measure lactate, base deficit, and pH.
Nationwide Children's Hospital
Columbus, Ohio, United States
lactate blood value
blood will be drawn from peripheral venous line, arterial line, and/or central venous line then the lactate value will be assessed by using a bedside point-of-care device, called i-stat.
Time frame: During surgery- approximately 15-20 minutes after induction in the operating room (OR)
base deficit blood value
blood will be drawn from peripheral venous line, arterial line, and/or central venous line then the base deficit blood value will be assessed by using a bedside point-of-care device, called i-stat.
Time frame: During surgery- approximately 15-20 minutes after induction in the operating room (OR)
pH blood value
blood will be drawn from peripheral venous line, arterial line, and/or central venous line then pH blood value will be assessed by using a bedside point-of-care device, called i-stat.
Time frame: During surgery- approximately 15-20 minutes after induction in the operating room (OR)
