Relationship between arterial blood lactate levels and oxygen delivery (DO 2 )/mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO 2 ) . No critical values of DO2 or SvO2 were seen to be associated with hyperlactatemia in septic patients (mean values of lactate 5.3 mmol/L). Increases in arterial lactate concentrations were present over a wide range of DO2 and SvO2 values.
