BChE activity correlates with the indicators of the metabolic state change following traumatic injury.
Notes: Scatter plots show base excess (A), bicarbonate concentration (B), pH (C), and lactate concentration (D) measured in blood of trauma patients 1 and 5 h following hospital admission. Base excess (E and I) and bicarbonate (F and J) concentration correlated with the BChE activity throughout the first 5 h after hospital admission. No correlation was observed between BChE activity and pH (G and K) or serum lactate concentration (H and L) during the first 5 h of hospital stay. rs1, rs5: Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.
Abbreviations: BChE, butyrylcholinesterase; ER, emergency room.
