53. Lactate & Lactic Acidosis

Critical Care Time Podcast
About this episode
On this episode of Critical Care Time, Nick & Cyrus embark on a deep dive into the world of lactic acidosis! As it is the beginning of the academic year, we figured this would be a great topic to demystify and disambiguate for our listeners. We discuss why lactic acidosis matters, and deconstruct all the clinically relevant elements from diagnosis to management, so that you are fully equipped with the tools necessary to conquer your next case of lactic acidosis - or maybe your first!! Ring in this new season of CCT with a banger of an episode and let us know what you think!
