Elevated lactate keeps getting misdiagnosed as 'sepsis' or 'ischaemic gut' Even by smart people in fancy places So I'm reposting this video so the resus nurses & residents & medical students can help their senior colleagues think beyond these two causes youtu.be/TuvKcplVQLg

@john_damianosMD My Apple Watch and my own pulse check would disagree with this conclusion!
