Lactate in refractory #OHCA: post-hoc analysis of Prague OHCA Study early lactate levels (measured anytime during first 24 h after admission) correlate with outcome of patients undergoing #ECPR
lactate > 14 mmol/L on admission predicts unfavourable outcome of #ECMO patients
if prehospital ROSC, unfavourable outcome likely if lactate > 10.8 mmol/L
single measurement? not enough for reliable outcome prediction
