Abstract:Background: Arterial lactate (AL) level is an important parameter used to predict patients’ prognosis. AL and peripheral venous lactate (PVL) in blood gas analysis have a low concordance rate, and PVL cannot be used as a substitute for AL. However, if the AL range can be predicted from PVL, PVL may be an alternative method of predicting patient prognosis, and the risk of arterial puncture complications with AL may be reduced. This could become a safe and rapid test method.Methods: This was a retrospective obse… Show more
