The Strong Ion Gap Predicts Mortality in Children Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
Our study objectives were as follows: a) to determine the 24-hr profile of the strong ion gap following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery; and b) to compare the prognostic value in terms of intensive care unit mortality of this variable with blood lactate.
