This same study also found that a lactate value greater than 6.6 mmol/L had a high predictive value of gastric necrosis and poor outcome. 11 Initial measurement of lactate should not be used to recommend euthanasia. It is more important to follow changes in lactate value with treatment than to make inferences based on a single value. Many animals with a high initial value respond favorably to treatment, as evidenced by a decrease in lactate value, and their prognosis improves.
Definition of energy efficiency: Percentage of total energy input to a machine or equipment that is consumed in useful work and not wasted as useless heat.
October 25th, 2013 by James Ayre. Energy efficiency is the worldâs most important âfuel,â according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
