[Efficacies of fluid resuscitation as guided by lactate clearance rate and central venous oxygen saturation in patients with septic shock].

Objective: To estimate the efficacies of fluid resuscitations as guided by lactate clearance rate (LC) and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO₂) in patients with septic shock.

Methods: 100 patients diagnosed with septic shock from June 2012 to June 2014 in department of critical care medicine of sixteen hospitals were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups of study and control (each n = 50).
