5 Introduction Severe Sepsis is common, Expensive, and frequently fatal 28 50%.* To risk stratify patients in the proximal phase of illness, may assist clinicians to more effectively manage these patients and improve out comes. * Angus DC, Linde Zwirble WT, Lidicker J, Clermont G, Carcillo J, Pinsky MR. Epidemiology of severe sepsis in the United States: analysis of incidence, outcome, and associated costs of care. Crit Care Med Jul;29(7):

6 Elevated Lactic Acid (LA) is strongly associated with Morbidity and Mortality for sepsis patients.* Elevated LA is simply a manifestation of organ dysfunction: Impaired lactate clearance Excessive production *Mikkelsen M.

9 A systematic review supported blood lactate monitoring as being useful for risk assessment in patients admitted acutely to the hospital.* For every 1 mmol/l increment of LA the hazard of dying were expected to increase 1.5 times. ** *Kruse O.

13 Objective To determine physicians compliance in measuring lactic acid levels in patients admitted with Sepsis. To review the mortality outcome associated with elevated lactic acid level. To determine the association between elevated lactic acid levels and prolonged hospitalization.

14 Methodology Observational Cohort Study Total 200 patients (100 SOCH, 100 MHOB) Inclusion: Age 18 or older Sepsis Criteria Exclusion Any patients not fulfilling Sepsis (WBC, Temp) Surgical patient SAS (Statistical Analysis Software)

24 LA & Stay

25 Conclusion 57.5% Physicians were compliance with ordering LA. High LA level was significantly associated with higher Mortality.

26 Considering the low volume population we could not statistically measure the difference in length of stay.
