RESUMEN

Point-of-care blood lactate is a promising prognostic biomarker of short-term mortality risk. Portable lactate meters need validation in the prehospital setting before widespread implementation and it is unknown whether the mode of sampling (arterial, capillary or venous) matters. This study aims to compare the StatStrip Xpress Lactate Meter's (SSX) accuracy to a validated blood gas analyser, ABL90 FLEX (ABL90), in arterial samples in the prehospital environment and to determine if lactate levels measured in venous and capillary blood samples are sufficiently accurate compared to arterial lactate levels. Patients with arterial samples drawn by the prehospital anaesthesiologist for any reason were eligible for inclusion. Simultaneously, three blood samples (arterial, capillary and venous) were analysed on SSX and arterial blood on ABL90. Measurements of agreements were evaluated by Lin's concordance correlations coefficient (CCC) and Bland-Altman Plots. One-hundred-and-eleven patients were included. SSX showed good accuracy compared to ABL90 in arterial samples with a CCC of 0.92 (95% CI 0.90-0.94). Compared to the arterial samples measured on ABL90, venous samples analysed on SSX showed higher agreement than capillary samples analysed on SSX with CCCs of 0.88 (95% CI 0.85-0.91) and 0.79 (95% CI 0.72-0.85), respectively. Bland-Altman plots showed that SSX lactate measurements in arterial, venous and capillary blood samples all had systematically negative biases compared to ABL90. We conclude that the SSX is accurate in our prehospital setting. Venous samples should be preferred over capillary samples, when arterial samples cannot be obtained.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The prehospital patients treated by ambulances and mobile emergency care units (MECU) are potentially critically ill or injured. Knowing the risks of serious outcomes in these patients is important for guiding their treatment. Some settings allow for prehospital arterial blood gas analyses. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of prehospital patients in relation to their prehospitally measured lactate, pH, and CO2 levels. The primary outcome was 7-day mortality. METHODS: This register-based cohort study included patients with one or more prehospital blood gas analyses during their prehospital treatment by a physician-manned MECU, from January 2015 to December 2018. The blood samples were analyzed on an ABL90 Flex analyzer. Absolute values with percentages and odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for the primary and secondary outcomes within prespecified subgroups. RESULTS: The study included 745 patients, with an overall 7-day mortality rate of 20.0%. LACTATE LEVEL: The 7-day mortality rates were 11.5% in patients with normal lactate levels (< 2.0 mmol/L), 14.4% with intermediate lactate levels (2.0-3.9 mmol/L), and 33.0% with high lactate levels (≥ 4.0 mmol/L). This corresponded to an OR of 1.30 (95% CI: 0.75-2.24) in the intermediate lactate group (2.0-3.9 mmol/L) and an OR of 3.77 (95% CI: 2.44-5.85) in the high lactate group (≥ 4.0 mmol/L), compared to the reference group with normal lactate. PH LEVEL: The ORs of 7-day mortality rates were 4.82 (95% CI: 3.00-7.75) in patients with blood pH of < 7.35 and 1.33 (95% CI: 0.65-2.72) in patients with blood pH > 7.45, compared to the reference group with normal pH (7.35-7.45). CO2 LEVEL : The ORs of 7-day mortality rates were 2.54 (95% CI: 1.45-4.46) in patients with blood CO2 of < 4.3 kPa and 2.62 (95% CI: 1.70-4.03) in patients with blood CO2 > 6.0 kPa, compared to the reference group with normal CO2 (4.3-6.0 kPa). CONCLUSIONS: This study found a strong correlation between increasing 7-day mortality rates and high blood lactate levels, low levels of pH, and abnormal CO2 blood levels, in prehospital patients undergoing prehospital blood analysis.
