An evaluation of serial blood lactate measurement as an early predictor of shock and its outcome in patients of trauma or sepsis
Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 09/29/09
Krishna U et al. – Serial lactate values followed over a period of time can be used to predict impending complications or grave outcome in patients of trauma or sepsis. Interventions that decrease lactate values to normal early may improve chances of survival and can be considered effective therapy. Lactate values need to be followed for a longer period of time in critical patients.
