Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients with a central venous access and health volunteers as a control group were prospectively assessed. Blood was drawn simultaneously for measurements of Lart, Lper and Lcen with the first sample collected within 24h after onset of organ dysfunction. A blinded intensivist stated clinical intervention based on each of the lactate values obtained. Results were analyzed using Pearson correlation, Bland-Altman and McNemar tests and considered significant if p=0.05. Overall duration of this study: 6 months

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 257685 0
Comparison of lactate values. Pearson?s correlations will be calculated using arterial lactate as a reference for comparison both with central venous lactate and peripheral lactete. The results will be expressed through the correlation coefficient (R) and the descriptive level (p) to test its significance. Additionally, the Bland and Altman test will be used to determine the bias and the limits of agreement between central venous and peripheral lactate compared with the reference value (arterial). The results of Bland Altman test will be expressed in bias ? standard deviation (confidence interval 95%), with this confidence interval representing the limits of agreement.
