Clinical Question

Is lactate clearance as good as SVO2 as a measure of oxygen delivery to tissues in patients presenting with severe sepsis and septic shock?

Conclusion

For patients with septic shock who were treated by normalizing CVP and MAP; attempt to normalize lactate clearance as opposed to normalize SVO2 showed no significant difference in in-hospital mortality.
