Check lactate-guided prevention after pancreas surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether measuring a blood test called lactate after surgery can help prevent infections inside the belly. You may be eligible if you recently had pancreas surgery and your lactate rises above a certain level within 24 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had pancreas surgery (like pancreaticoduodenectomy or total pancreatectomy) for a pancreatic condition.
- You were cared for in an ICU after surgery and received standard lactate-related blood testing/treatment there.
- Your medical team has complete records from before, during, and after your operation.
- Your highest (peak) blood lactate level within 24 hours after surgery is more than 3.25 mmol/L.

This trial looks at how low blood pressure during a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) affects lactate levels after surgery, which is a marker of how well your body is recovering. It helps doctors understand how to manage blood pressure to improve outcomes.
This study checks whether measuring lactate (a substance made by muscles during stress or low oxygen) in a vein right after surgery can help doctors predict complications in babies less than 1 year old. It focuses on infants who need general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgeries inside the hospital.
This study checks if high levels of a certain enzyme (called amylase) in the blood after pancreas surgery can help predict recovery and complications. The goal is to improve patient safety after the operation.
This study tests whether giving insulin after pancreas surgery helps patients who didn't have diabetes before. The pancreas makes insulin, so removing part of it can affect blood sugar control.
This study measures how much of a common surgical antibiotic (piperacillin) stays in your body during major liver or pancreas surgery. Understanding these levels helps doctors give the right dose to prevent infection.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics with a special liquid nutrition feed after pancreatic surgery can lower the chance of getting an infection. If you are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
