Early lactate-guided therapy in intensive care unit patients: a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: In patients with hyperlactatemia on ICU admission, lactate-guided therapy significantly reduced hospital mortality when adjusting for predefined risk factors and this study suggests that initial lactate monitoring has clinical benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serial blood lactate levels can predict the development of multiple organ failure following septic shock

TL;DR: In patients with septic shock, serial determinations of blood lactate levels are good predictors of the development of MSOF an death and the duration of lactic acidosis is more important than the initial lactate value.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood Lactate Levels Are Superior to Oxygen-Derived Variables in Predicting Outcome in Human Septic Shock

TL;DR: It is concluded that the oxygen-derived variables, Do2 and Vo2, cannot be used as prognostic indicators in human septic shock and, in contrast, blood lactate levels are closely related to ultimate survival from septicshock.
