Abstract

Hyperlactatemia is associated with increased risk of mortality. Point-of-care (POC) lactate levels have been used worldwide in the emergency department (ED) and critical care units for risk stratification. The aim of this study was to determine whether POC lactate levels are predictive of outcomes in our low-resource setting.
