When oxygen delivery falls below a critical threshold, the anaerobic threshold, the amount of oxygen available for consumption is not able to meet the needs of cells. These imbalances result in cellular hypoxia, resulting in failure of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and as a result energy metabolism becomes wholly dependent upon anaerobic glycolysis1. Anaerobic glycolysis sharply increases the production of cellular lactate, which diffuses into the blood during prolonged cell ischemia. Elevated circulating lactate concentration thus often indicates widespread inadequate tissue oxygenation due to inadequate oxygen delivery and/or consumption 2. In this issue of Anesthesiology, Regnier et al present a prospective cohort analysis of the utility of lactate and lactate clearance measurements in the setting of the acutely traumatized patients3.Numerous previous studies have documented the utility of lactate as a prognostic indicator in shock states 2; 4. The use of lactate measurements is gaining recognition in critical care settings as a potential indicator of tissue hypoperfusion5; 6. Furthermore, lactate screening as a method of risk stratification and prognosis has been shown to be beneficial in hemodynamically stable patients with suspected infection 5; 7. Underscoring the importance of these data is the fact that point-of-care testing performed at the patient’s bedside is becoming more common 8, 9.
