note = "Lactate has been studied for decades as a prognostic marker of resuscitation and patient outcome in shock. While the mechanism for lactate elevation is debatable, it has been known since the 1960s that a lactate value 4 mM in the critically ill patient is associated with increased mortality.1 Additionally, lactate clearance, or the decrease in lactate level as a goal during resuscitation, has been examined and re-examined for the past 3 decades.",
