Lactate clearance is not inferior to central venous oxygen saturation as a goal in early sepsis resuscitation
Statistics from Altmetric.com
Goal-directed therapy in severe sepsis improves outcome by providing protocol-driven targets for initial resuscitation. Current guidelines use central venous oxygen saturations (Scvo2) to assess oxygen delivery and metabolism, but this requires specialist equipment and expertise which may limit its use. This study addresses whether a change in serum lactate concentration …
