Re: [Sepsis Groups] lactic acid reflex time

We do an autoregenerate at 3 hours if greater than 3. This is a one time order. Thanks, Patsy Patsy Kietzman BSN, RN Ascension Clinical Research Institute - Eastern Region Specialist- Clinical Informatics t: 812.485.4659 patsy.kietz...@ascension.org

Re: [Sepsis Groups] lactic acid reflex time

We reflex if LA >2 also. Usually 3 hours from initial draw regardless what result is. This helps to not miss in repeats most of the time. [cid:image003.png@01D521EB.76A76250] http://www.sepsis.org/sepsis-heroes/ Pam Green BSN RN CCRN Clinical Informatics / Sepsis Team Leader /Coordinator

Re: [Sepsis Groups] [External] lactic acid reflex time

We use 4 hours. Our intensivists think that any time earlier (i.e. 3 hours) isn't enough time to see clinical significance. Mary Draper RN BSN Coordinator Quality Improvement Peer Review Support CV/CT JMH Quality Management Office (925) 674-2045 Cell (925) 451-8792 Fax (925) 674-2373

Re: [Sepsis Groups] lactic acid reflex time

We reflex at 2 hours as well; basically to account for any delays that may occur in collecting lab at peak times/late hours with limited staff, etc. We have found it to be very effective. We do still have problems with the timing of LA like when one is ordered really early and a second one

Re: [Sepsis Groups] lactic acid reflex time

We use the 2 hour timeframe as well Angela Craig APN,MS,CCNS ICU Clinical Nurse Specialist 1 Medical Center Boulevard, Cookeville, TN 38501 Phone: 931-783-5035 Fax: 931-783-5039 acr...@crmchealth.org | crmchealth.org |Facebook | Twitter Cookeville Regional Medical Center: Building Healthier
