Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Critical Lactic Acid Levels

             Hello all,
        Recently we have learned our lab does not call Critical Lactic Acid 
levels to the floor or ICU. We need to establish a Critical Lab value for lab 
to call. Does anyone else have a critical lactic acid lab value that requires 
your lab to call the floor or ICU nurse? We are bouncing around the idea of 2.2 
or 2.5 and higher.
