Lactate has been thoroughly studied and found useful for stratification of patients with sepsis, in the Intensive Care Unit, and trauma care. However, little is known about lactate as a risk-stratification marker in the Medical Emergency Team- (MET-) call setting. We aimed to determine whether the arterial blood lactate level at the time of a MET-call is associated with increased 30-day mortality. This is an observational study on a prospectively gathered cohort at a regional secondary referral hospital. All MET-calls during the two-year study period were eligible. Beside blood lactate, age and vital signs were registered at the call. Among the 211 calls included, there were 64 deaths (30.3%). Median lactate concentration at the time of the MET-call was 1.82 mmol/L (IQR 1.16–2.7). We found differences between survivors and nonsurvivors for lactate and oxygen saturation, a trend for age, but no significant correlations between mortality and systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate. As compared to normal lactate (<2.44 mmol/L), OR for 30-day mortality was 3.54 (p<0.0006) for lactate 2.44–5.0 mmol/L and 4.45 (p<0.0016) for lactate > 5.0 mmol/L. The present results support that immediate measurement of blood lactate in MET call patients is a useful tool in the judgment of illness severity.

Background: We developed a new device for quantifying capillary refill time (CRT) by applying the pulse oximeter principle, and reported the excellent correlation between quantitative CRT (Q-CRT) and tissue hypoperfusion status as represented by arterial blood lactate levels in critically ill patients in the pilot study. Methods: Diagnostic accuracy study was undergone in ICU of a tertiary emergency medical center. While the pulse oxygen saturation sensor was placed on the finger of the patients, transmitted light intensity was measured with a pulse oximeter (OLV-3100, Nihon Kohden Corp., Japan) before start and during compression of the finger. Correlation between delta Ab, defined as the absorbance of light intensity of infra-red (A-ir) minus that of red (A-r), and arterial blood lactate level was analyzed. Results: The delta Ab was analyzed a total of 69 waveforms in 23 patients. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the delta Ab less than 0.06 for predicting a lactate level more than 2.0 mmol/l were 100%, 93%, 89%, 100%, respectively. Conclusions: The delta Ab was well correlated to high level of blood lactate level in critically ill patients. Further study will confirm to place the delta Ab as one of non-invasive predictors of tissue perfusion status.
