Background Lactate has been shown to be a prognostic biomarker in trauma. Although
lactate clearance has already been proposed as an intermediate endpoint in randomized …

Background: Initial blood lactate and base deficit have been shown to be prognostic
biomarkers in trauma, but their respective performances have not been compared. Methods …

Point-of-care abdominal ultrasound (US), which is performed by clinicians at bedside, is
