Can base excess and anion gap predict lactate level in diagnosis of septic shock?

BACKGROUND: Lactate measurement is the key component in septic shock identification and resuscitation. However, point-of-care lactate testing is not widely used due to the lack of access to nearby test equipment. Biomarkers such as serum lactate, anion gap (AG), and base excess (BE) are used in dete...
