Article Synopsis
- Arterial sampling is typically used for measuring lactate levels in sepsis due to its accuracy, but it's more painful and carries higher risks than venous sampling.
- This study involved 87 septic patients and assessed the correlation between lactate levels in arterial, peripheral venous (PV), and central venous (CV) samples taken shortly after admission.
- Results indicated strong agreement between venous and arterial lactate levels, suggesting that venous samples are a viable option for monitoring and resuscitating patients with sepsis.
