We were able to get the lab to recognize a critical value for lactate that would trigger the lab to call the RN and the RN to notify the provider. My concern is that the level we chose was 4 or >. The data that we have collected on our own patients so far, even those in septic shock, rarely have a lactate as high as 4. What are other hospitals using for a lactate to trigger an alert?
