Lac
clearance 1h
Lactate Clearance calculates, in percent, the hourly change of measured lactate.

. It requires 2 independent measurements.
q
Both measurements must be carried out with the same patient ID.
Define patient ID as an input value.
q
Samples from patients with other patient IDs can be measured between the 2 Qs/Qt partial
measurements.
When calculating lactate clearance, either the current or the previous lactate value has to
be greater than 4 mmol/L.
A minimum of 2 hours, but no more than 8 hours, has to pass between 2 lactate partial
measurements.
