Sponsored Webinar: Beyond the ICU: The Role of Lactate in Sepsis, Recovery, and Readmission Risk
December 9 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Date: December 9, 2025
Time: 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET / 11:00 am – 12:00 pm PT
Description:
This sponsored webinar will explore the established role of lactate as a critical indicator of physiological stress and disease severity, with particular focus on its importance in the management of sepsis. In the hospital setting, serial lactate measurement through point-of-care or laboratory testing provides clinicians with real-time data that guide timely intervention and improve outcomes, yet there remains a significant blind spot once patients transition to the home environment. The inability to measure lactate outside the hospital, due to the rapid degradation of blood samples, leaves newly discharged patients and those with chronic conditions vulnerable to unrecognized deterioration and avoidable readmission. The session will highlight the limitations of current practice, the clinical consequences of delayed recognition, and the potential impact of new approaches to lactate monitoring, drawing on current work examining sepsis readmission risk and opportunities to strengthen continuity of care.
