Abstract

Sepsis and septic shock are majorcauses of morbidity and mortality inpediatric patients. Early identification of high-risk patients is crucial forimproving outcomes. Blood lactatelevels and lactate clearance (LC) haveemerged as important biomarkers forassessing tissue hypoxia and guidingresuscitation
