Effects of sodium acetate Ringer solution on electrolytes, blood glucose and lactate levels in pediatric neurosurgery / 中国中西医结合急救杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of sodium acetate Ringer solution on serum levels of electrolytes, blood glucose (Glu) and lactic acid (Lac) in peri-operational stage of children undergoing neurosurgery. Methods Forty cases of children prepared to undergo neurosurgery admitted into Hunan Children's Hospital from December 2018 to April 2019 were enrolled, and according to the criteria of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), they were classified into Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade. They were divided into a sodium acetate Ringer solution group and a sodium lactate Ringer solution group by random number table method, 20 cases in each group. Sodium acetate Ringer solution group was given the sodium acetate Ringer solution; sodium lactate Ringer solution group was given the sodium lactate Ringer solution, and both groups used intravenous infusion of their own respective solution at a rate of 10 mL·kg-1·h-1. Arterial blood gas detections were measured after anesthesia induction (T1), 1 hour after administration (T2), 2 hours after administration (T3) and at the end of surgery (T4); the changes in serum levels of electrolyte concentrations, blood Glu and Lac were observed in the patients of two groups. Results With the prolonged operation time, the levels of Glu and Lac in the two groups showed an increasing trend, compared with the levels at T1 and T2 , the levels were increased at T3 and T4 [the sodium lactate ringer solution group Glu (mmol/L) were 5.85±1.02, 6.95±1.21 vs. 5.28±0.72, 5.20±0.62, and Lac (mmol/L) were 1.53±0.74, 1.91±1.41 vs. 1.23±0.71, 1.38±0.69; sodium acetate ringer solution group Glu (mmol/L) was 5.44±0.86, 5.85±1.12 vs. 5.05±0.85, 5.14±0.74, Lac (mmol/L) were 1.58±1.31, 1.61±1.23 vs. 1.14±0.65, 1.28±0.95, all P < 0.05], the Lac and Glu levels at T4 in sodium acetate Ringer solution group were significantly lower than those in sodium lactate Ringer solution group (both P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in pH value, Na+, K+ and residual base (BE) levels between the two groups at different time points (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Sodium acetate Ringer solution used in pediatric neurosurgery for more than 2 hours can reduce the blood lactic acid level without rising blood glucoselevel. Therefore, it is more suitable for infusion during pediatric neurosurgery.
