Q

Green, JVECC, 2011, Eval initial lactate and gastric necrosis and subsequent lactate survival. What were main findings?

A
  1. NO * sig relationship b/t survival and presence of macroscopic gastric necrosis with initial lacate > 6
    • sig relationship b/t initial lactate > 2.9 mmol/L for predicting necrosis and 50% reduction in lactate 12h after tx (of the 40 that had repeat lactate)
  2. The other 3/40 that had repeat lactates that were not more than 50% lower, all died
