Serum Lactate Mortality Index (post-CPB) Calculator
Serum Lactate Mortality Index (post-CPB): Explanation and Clinical Context The Serum Lactate Mortality Index (SLMI) is a prognostic tool used to estimate the risk of postoperative mortality in patients after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It is calculated by multiplying peak serum lactate levels (mmol/L) by the time elapsed since CPB (hours). Elevated lactate levels reflect impaired tissue perfusion and oxygen deliver
