Abstrakt: Comparison of the clinical and experimental material suggests that the maximal increase in the blood lactate level (70–80 mg%) in the early recovery period after clinical death from blood loss does not itself indicate a possible lethal outcome. However, if a state of clinical death does not develop, the critical blood lactate level can serve as a prognostic sign. A long-lasting raised lactate level can also serve as the basis for an unfavorable prognosis.
