Can anyone help me during my sepsis collaborative this year we are looking to implement Lactic acid as one of the values if critical it is reported. Has anyone established a critical result for lactic acid. We have in our policy that the values greater than 2.2 are high. No critical has been established. And does anyone have literature on this topic? Thanks . "Always the Best" Joshua Joshua Coon RN CEN Emergency Department Administrative Charge Nurse Florida Hospital Waterman (352) 253-3264
