ABSTRACT

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The ideal site for lactate collection has not been clearly established. This study aimed to evaluate associations between lactate levels in arterial blood (Lart), peripheral venous blood (Lper) and central venous blood (Lcen) in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional analytical study in an tertiary university hospital. METHOD: Samples from patients with a central venous catheter and from healthy volunteers (control group) were collected. Blood was drawn simultaneously for measurements of Lart, Lper and Lcen, and the first sample was collected less than 24 hours after the onset of organ dysfunction. The results were analyzed using Pearson correlation, Bland-Altman and McNemar tests. RESULTS: A total of 238 samples were collected from 32 patients. The correlation results were r = 0.79 (P < 0.0001) for Lart/Lper and r = 0.84 (P < 0.0001) for Lart/Lcen. Bland-Altman showed large limits of agreement: -3.2 ± 4.9 (-12.8 to 6.4) and -0.8 ± 5.9 (-12.5 to 10.8), for Lper and Lcen respectively. In the control group, there was greater correlation (r = 0.9009, P = 0.0004) and agreement: -0.7 ± 1.2 (-3.1 to 1.7). Regarding clinical intervention, there was good agreement between Lart/Lcen (96.3 percent; three disagreements), with worst results for Lart/Lper (87.0 percent) with 10 cases of disagreement (P = 0.04). In eight patients (80.0 percent) Lper was higher than Lart. CONCLUSION: Lcen, and not Lper, can replace Lart with good correlation and clinical agreement. Lper tends to overestimate Lart, thus leading to unnecessary therapeutic interventions.


CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: O sítio ideal de coleta do lactato não está claramente estabelecido. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a associação dos valores de lactato do sangue arterial (Lart), venoso periférico (Lper) e venoso central (Lcen) em pacientes com sepse grave ou choque séptico. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo transversal analítico em hospital universitário terciário. MÉTODOS: Amostras de pacientes com cateter venoso central e voluntários sadios (grupo controle) foram coletadas. O sangue foi obtido de forma simultânea para medida do Lart, Lper and Lcen, sendo a primeira amostra coletada no máximo 24 horas após o início da disfunção orgânica. Resultados foram analisados usando a correlação de Pearson, os testes de Bland-Altman e McNemar. RESULTADOS: Um total de 238 amostras foi coletado em 32 pacientes. Resultados da correlação: r = 0.79 (P < 0,0001) para Lart/Lper e r = 0.84 (P < 0,0001) para Lart/Lcen. Bland-Altman mostrou largos limites de concordância, -3.2 ± 4.9 (-12.8 to 6.4) and -0.8 ± 5.9 (-12.5 to 10.8), para Lper e Lcen, respectivamente. No grupo controle, houve uma maior correlação (r = 0.9009, P = 0,0004) e concordância: -0.7 ± 1.2 (-3.1 to 1.7). No que se refere à intervenção clínica, houve boa concordância Lart/Lcen (96.3 por cento, três não concordantes), com resultados piores encontrados para Lart/Lper (87.0 por cento) com 10 casos não concordantes (P = 0,04). Em oito pacientes (80.0 por cento) Lper foi mais elevado que Lart. CONCLUSÃO: Lcen, e não Lper, pode substituir Lart com boa correlação e concordância clínica. Lper tende a superestimar Lart, assim levando a intervenç ões terapêuticas desnecessárias.
