Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: Characterization of Lactic Acidosis in Pediatric Postoperative Cardiac Patients

Brief Summary: This is a single-center, observational study. Investigators aim to characterize the metabolism of lactate in children over the first forty-eight hours following cardiac surgery. Blood samples will be obtained up to 12 timepoints. Samples will be analyzed for concentration of pyruvate. Results will be compared to standard of care laboratory results for lactate and other direct and indirect measures of cardiac output.
