HOW TO USE LACTATE LEVELS TO GUIDE SEPTIC SHOCK RESUSCITATION: AN UPDATE
Erasmus MC University Medical Center, Bloomsbury Institute of Intensive Care Medicine
PDF4 pages632 KB
The document discusses the relationship between lactate levels and mortality in critically ill patients, particularly in the context of septic shock. It critiques the traditional view of lactate as a direct marker of tissue hypoxia and highlights the complexities of lactate metabolism in sepsis. The authors argue for a more nuanced approach to interpreting lactate levels, integrating them with other clinical indicators to guide treatment decisions effectively.
