Abstract:Background:
The Sepsis-3 guidelines have incorporated serum lactate levels of >2 mmol/L in septic shock definition to account for higher observed mortality. Further evidence is needed to support this threshold in cirrhosis, as well as target mean arterial pressure (MAP) during resuscitation.
Methods:
This observational cohort study investigated the association between initial serum lactate and resuscitation MAP levels on in-hospital mortality in pati… Show more
