Overview

he aim of this prospective, analytic trial was to evaluate the accuracy of blood lactates levels in predicting mortality in ICU patients.

This trial included traumatic, medical and surgical patients requiring ICU stay for a predictive period \> to 24 hours. Blood lactates were evaluated as a prognostic parameter in predicting ICU mortality and compared to classic prognostic scores such as: SOFA score, IGS II and APACHE II. The primary end point was ICU mortality.
