    MV is like recipe: same ingredients/different dosages may result in perfection vs disaster Low Vt does NOT guarantee lung protection: could be good starting point, but isn't THE solution, scale to lung size. Vt impacts survival (ARMA) only if really high/low @Luigi_ICM #LIVES2020

    Serum lactate poorly specific for hypoperfusion, more often associated with impaired tissue O2 use. Levels affected by  ⬆️ increased anaerobic glycolysis & ⬆️ aerobic glycolysis production ⬇️ impaired mitochondrial function ⬇️ reduced hepatic clearance Potential harm may result
    Guiding resuscitation on serial lactate measurements? Not an accurate biomarker of hypoperfusion. However integration with clinical phenotyping + peripheral perfusion assessment could better individualize strategies 🔓rdcu.be/dFa9Y Refers to 🔓rdcu.be/dFcL4
