Increased levels of lactic acid have been described in patients treated for asthma exacerbation. However, the frequency and clinical significance of hyperlactatemia in real-world practice is unknown. The objective of the study was to evaluate the characteristics associated with hyperlactatemia in blood gas analysis of patients with asthma exacerbation hospitalized in a pulmonary department. This is a retrospective 3-year study (2015 to 2017) of patients discharged from the pulmonary department. The level of lactic acid in the blood gas test and the possible relationship with clinical, laboratory, therapy, spirometric values, hospitalization length and use of critical care resources were analyzed. A total of 112 patients with 182 admissions were included in the study. Thirty-two (29%) patients had hyperlactatemia in at least one blood gas analysis. Elevated lactic acid was observed in 42 of 182 admissions (23%), which had larger length hospital stay (median, 6 vs. 5 days, p = 0.013). Hyperlactatemia was present in 8 of 10 admissions in the critical care units, mainly after receiving bronchodilator therapy. There was a significant correlation between lactate level and bicarbonate level (r = -0.417, p = 0.003) and between lactate level and base excess (r = -0.484, p < 0.001) in cases with hiperlactatemia. Hyperlactatemia is a relatively frequent finding in blood gas analysis of patients hospitalized because of asthma (23% of admissions). These admissions with hiperlactatemia are associated with larger hospital length of stay.
