I may have missed this discussion, but I had a patient fail SEP-1 when no repeat Lactate level was ordered. If the initial Lactate was >4, I see no guideline that necessitates a repeat draw in this case. Is a repeat draw still required if the initial Lactate is already >4? I appreciate all your help with this.
