Abstract
Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is instituted, during various cardiac operations, to allow for optimal systemic perfusion. Tissue hypoperfusion is associated with lactic acidosis secondary to anaerobic metabolism. Measurement of blood lactate levels can hence be used as a marker to assess the adequacy of tissue perfusion. In this study we tried to find out the association between various preoperative NYHA classes and link their association with perioperative lactate and lactate clearance values.
