Arterial sampling, which is the gold standard for measuring lactate levels in sepsis, is more painful, requires experience and is associated with a higher incidence of morbidity, when compared with venous sampling. This study attempted to measure the correlation and agreement between arterial and peripheral venous (PV) lactate and between arterial and central venous (CV) lactate, with the objective to test interchangeability of the two and possibly support the use of venous lactate levels in resuscitating patients with sepsis.
