Is lactate clearance impaired in septic shock?
In a recent article in Critical Care, Tapia and colleagues evaluated the relationship between exogenous lactate clearance and liver perfusion in a short-term model of endotoxemic shock [1]. The authors concluded that the very low portal-hepatic vein lactate gradient was indicative of the inability of the liver to metabolize the increased lactate load. Although we believe that the authors addres...
متن کاملIs Serum Lactate Necessary in Patients with Normal Anion Gap and Serum Bicarbonate?
INTRODUCTION There has been an increase in patients having serum lactate drawn in emergency situations. The objective of this study was to determine whether or not it was necessary to obtain a lactate level in patients with a normal serum bicarbonate level and anion gap. METHODS This is a retrospective chart review evaluation of 304 patients who had serum lactate and electrolytes measured in ...
متن کاملPrevalence and characteristics of non-lactate and lactate expressors in septic shock
PURPOSE The study's objective was to determine the proportion and patient characteristics of patients in vasopressor-dependent septic shock who presented without lactatemia. METHODS A retrospective review of patients presenting to an urban tertiary-care emergency department between December 2007 and September 2008 was conducted. Patients with a final diagnosis of septic shock requiring vasopr...
متن کاملSerum lactate levels as the predictor of outcome in pediatric septic shock
BACKGROUND AND AIMS An association of high lactate levels with mortality has been found in adult patients with septic shock. However, there is controversial literature regarding the same in children. The aim of this study was to find the correlation of serum lactate levels in pediatric septic shock with survival. SETTINGS AND DESIGN This was a prospective observational study at PICU of a tert...
متن کاملConsecutive Daily Measurements of Luminal Concentrations of Lactate in the Rectum in Septic Shock Patients
In a recent study we found no difference in the concentrations of luminal lactate in the rectum between nonsurvivors and survivors in early septic shock (<24 h). This study was initiated to investigate if there are any changes in the concentrations of luminal lactate in the rectum during the first 3 days of septic shock and possible differences between nonsurvivors and survivors. Methods. We st...
