Rapid lactate clearance is associated with an increased likelihood of survival in critically ill patients. See also:...
JAMA Sepsis Website Key Points QuestionDoes the use of a resuscitation strategy targeting normalization of capillary refill time, compared with a strategy targeting serum lactate levels, reduce mortality among patients with septic shock? FindingsIn this randomized clinical trial of 424 patients with earl...
LDH was also reported as a biomarker for different diseases. Even though LDH is not as effective as cardiac troponin in diagnosing acute myocardial infarction, elevated levels of LDH can be helpful in determining whether a patient has had a myocardial infarction if they come to doctors...
Within biochemical research, it is usual to monitor the levels of bilirubin and creatinine, bearing in mind they are non-specific parameters not capable of detecting sepsis solely [31]. For that reason, they are used for monitoring sepsis along with other results. There are numerous studies ...
anormal peripheral venous lactate predicted a normal ar-terial lactate [7]. However, an elevated peripheral ve-nous lactate did not accurately predict arterial hyperlac-tatemia. In this study, tourniquet time did not appear toaffect venous lactate determination [7].Circulatory shock, sepsis, and...
