TLDR
The results showed that hyperlactatemia, although it does not provide diagnostic information, indicates the severity of illness and the need for an early and aggressive intervention in critically ill foals, and lactatemia proved to be a reliable prognostic parameter.About:

A review of equine sepsis
TL;DR: Treatment of sepsis requires an intensive care approach that includes antimicrobial drug administration, fluid resuscitation and pressure support, and treatment for inflammation, endotoxaemia and coagulopathy.

Results of Screening of Apparently Healthy Senior and Geriatric Dogs
Annelies Willems,Dominique Paepe,Sofie Marynissen,Pascale Smets,I. Van de Maele,P Picavet,Luc Duchateau,Sylvie Daminet +7 more
TL;DR: Physical and laboratory abnormalities are common in apparently healthy elderly dogs and frequency of orthopedic problems, frequency of (sub)cutaneous masses, and platelet count were significantly higher in geriatric compared with senior dogs.

Association of admission L-lactate concentration in hospitalised equine neonates with presenting complaint, periparturient events, clinical diagnosis and outcome: a prospective multicentre study.

TL;DR: L-lactate concentration at admission proves its utility as a valuable prognostic biomarker in neonatal foals and its utility appears to vary with peripartum history and clinicians' major diagnosis.

Daniel Mota-Rojas,Julio Martínez-Burnes,Dina Villanueva-García,P. Roldan-Santiago,M. E. Trujillo-Ortega,H. Orozco-Gregorio,Herlinda Bonilla-Jaime,Alfonso López-Mayagoitia +7 more
TL;DR: The objective of this review is to integrate clinical findings and laboratory analyses in such a way to improve the welfare of newborn piglets and achieve better prognoses of neonatal viability.

TL;DR: This study proposes, in addition to an Apgar score analysis, the evaluation of laboratory parameters and weight, because knowledge of these reference values is essential for diagnosing at-risk neonates and for establishing suitable treatments.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.
TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

2001 SCCM/ESICM/ACCP/ATS/SIS International Sepsis Definitions Conference
Mitchell M. Levy,Mitchell P. Fink,John C. Marshall,Edward Abraham,Derek C. Angus,Deborah J. Cook,Jonathan M. Cohen,Steven M. Opal,Jean Louis Vincent,Graham Ramsay +9 more
TL;DR: A hypothetical model for staging sepsis is presented, which, in the future, may better characterize the syndrome on the basis of predisposing factors and premorbid conditions, the nature of the underlying infection, the characteristics of the host response, and the extent of the resultant organ dysfunction.

International pediatric sepsis consensus conference: definitions for sepsis and organ dysfunction in pediatrics.
TL;DR: The current criteria used to define SIRS and sepsis in adults were modified to incorporate pediatric physiologic variables appropriate for the following subcategories of children: newborn, neonate, infant, child, and adolescent.
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.

Lactate Clearance and Survival Following Injury
David Abramson,Thomas M. Scalea,Robyn Hitchcock,Stanley Z. Trooskin,Sharon Henry,Joshua Greenspan +5 more
TL;DR: Evaluating 76 consecutive patients with multiple trauma admitted directly to the ICU from the operating room or emergency department found the time needed to normalize serum lactate levels is an important prognostic factor for survival in severely injured patients.
