Diagnostic Accuracy of Triage Shock Index in Predicting Hyperlactatemia in Patients With Sepsis in the Emergency Department
The study concluded that SI greater than 0.68 is a sensitive bedside tool in the early prediction of hyperlactemia in patients with sepsis, and it can be used with other vital signs for effectively triaging patients for giving prompt ED care. Further multi-center studies are required to assess for further validation to incorporate into clinical practice.
