Capillary lactate as a prognostic marker in sepsis: correlation with venous lactate and prediction of outcomes

Abstract Introduction Venous lactate (VL) measured by a blood‒gas analyser is not widely available despite its importance in the management of sepsis. Capillary lactate (CL) measured via a hand-held lactate analyser is a feasible and less expensive option. The aim of this study was to determine the...
