Off topic! Blood lactate concentration & dynamics as marker of perfusion:
💨 beyond hypoxia & anaerobic glycolysis: complex interplay between perfusion, metabolism, organ function, neurohormonal stress
🖥️ dynamic monitoring + trend analysis improve prognostic/diagnostic value
🩸 lactate dynamics across different shock types
🚧 common pitfalls in physiological interpretation
🧪 complementary perfusion markers: multimodal approach most effective & patient-centered use!
🩺 clinical integration
Lactate remains cornerstone biomarker, but remain alert to non-hypoxic causes of elevation and resist the urge to over-treat based on lactate alone.
