We have been doing 4 hour reflex lactate levels for about a year now. We haven't had any pushback. Our only issue is we have to check on the logic module after EMR upgrades to make sure it is still working. We have Allscripts EMR.

The only pushback we have had is related to our trauma patients who routinely have one done on admission. Are any of your facilities trauma centers and are you doing reflex lactates and has there been any pushback? Thanks for your feedback.
