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. Colt F. Shope, RN, BSN Greenville Health System Sepsis Coordinator 701 Grove Road Greenville, SC 29605 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (864)-455-6319
