Development of a method for describing lactate kinetics in ICU patients using a stable labeled 13C-lactate bolus – a pilot study in healthy volunteers.

Conditions

Summary

In order to study lactate kinetics in ICU patients with a minimally invasive technique we are performing this pilot study on healthy volunteers. After a standard health form, medical examination and testing the fasting subjects will receive venous and arterial catheters. Base line samples are drawn and frozen. A bolus of stable isotopically labeled 13C-lactate will be given (2.7mg/kg body weight). Blood samples will be drawn at 37 time points throughout 2 hours (not more than 100ml blood al together). Samples will be analyzed at bedside analyzer and snap frozen for later analysis for relationship between 13C-labelled and normal lactate. Subjects will monitored with ECG, pulsoximetry and blood pressure throughout the experiment.


Eligibility

Sex: Both males and femalesMin Age: 18 Yearss

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is developing a method to measure how the body produces and clears lactic acid in ICU patients, using healthy volunteers first. Participants will receive a small intravenous bolus of a specially labeled form of lactate and have blood samples drawn over 2 hours. This will help researchers better understand critical illness in the future. You may be eligible if: - You are a healthy adult (18 years or older) - You are not taking any ongoing medications You may NOT be eligible if: - You have abnormal results on laboratory screening tests - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
