Prehospital Blood Lactate Measurements in Ambulances and Associations with Outcomes: A Cohort Study
: This study found evidence of correlations between elevated lactate levels and poor outcomes in all acute prehospital patients except patients receiving diagnoses within the nervous system. Implementing prehospital lactate measurements is useful if knowledge of the patient's lactate levels adds to existing parameters in the prehospital setting.
