Lactate Level Versus Lactate Clearance for Predicting Mortality in Patients With Septic Shock Defined by Sepsis-3

Abstract

Our findings indicate lactate and lactate clearance are both useful targets in patients with septic shock defined by Sepsis-3. Serum lactate level at 6-hour can be an easier and more effective tool for prognosis of septic shock patients who were treated with protocol-driven resuscitation bundle therapy.
