Brief Summary

Serum lactate level is depended on the balance between lactate production and clearance. It is seen as a sensitive indicator reflecting not only the low systemic perfusion but microcirculatory dysfunction which cause global or regional tissue hypoxia (as a result of impaired mitochondrial oxidation). 2016 Surviving Sepsis Campaign guideline stated "We suggest guiding resuscitation to normalize lactate in patients with elevated lactate levels as a marker of tissue hypoperfusion", with weak recommendation and low quality of evidence. Several trials which evaluated the resuscitation strategy included lactate clearance as a target while based on 2.0 diagnostic criteria for sepsis, finally showed conflicting results. The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of lactate clearance guide resuscitation in sepsis that defined by The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic shock through multi-center, central-randomization clinical trial.

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Older than 17 years old.
  • Primary diagnosis is sepsis, means being confirmed or suspected infection while have at least 2 points of quickSOFA(qSOFA).
  • Be transferred to intensive care unit (ICU) for the first time during this hospitalization.
  • Elevated lactate ≥3.0mmol/L.

You may not qualify if:

  • Known liver disease - Child-Pugh classes C, acute hepatic failure, severe hepatopathy accompany with prominent portal hypertension.
  • Known being in an immunosuppressive state:
  • Suffering from any disease that is unrelated with sepsis that severely inhibits the immune to infection, such as: active hematological or lymphoma malignancy, or during immunosuppressive therapy, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serology positive.
  • Known chronic kidney disease.
  • Suffering from any disease that affects lactate kinetics, such as mitochondrial encephalopathy, congenital hyperlipidemia, Wernicke encephalopathy, etc. Or other probable cause of hyperlactatemia.
  • Took any drugs that affect lactate kinetics within the effective time window, such as taking metformin or phenylephrine within 1 week.
  • Suffering from any disease that restricts resuscitation, such as heart failure, cardiac surgery, severe heart disease etc, or suffered from a cardio-pulmonary resuscitation,.
