The role of peripheral perfusion markers and lactate in septic shock resuscitation
Abstract Septic shock leads to progressive hypoperfusion and tissue hypoxia. Unfortunately, numerous uncertainties exist around the best monitoring strategy, as available techniques are mere surrogates for these phenomena. Nevertheless, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), venous-to-arterial CO2 gap, and lactate normalization have been fostered as resuscitation targets for septic shock. Moreover, recent evidence has challenged the central role of lactate. Following […]
