Or documentation of severe sepsis or septic shock? If not, then I disagree. From: Sepsisgroups [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nielsenshultz, Yara Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 5:50 PM To: Davis, Diana; '[email protected]' Subject: Re: [Sepsis Groups] Septic shock question I would say yes. A lactate >/= 4 is automatically septic shock (as long as the patient also meets criteria for severe sepsis, which it looks like they do).
