Notes for people accustomed to thinking in miles. To convert from km to miles divide by 8 and multiply by 5. To convert from miles to km divide by 5 and multiply by 8. So 80 km = 50 miles, 160 km = 100 miles.
Causes of Lactic Acidosis. Lactic Acidosis is caused if a person reaches the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold. This is the upper limit of the ability of an individual's body to exercise. When a person exercises at a limit below the lactate threshold, very little lactic acid will be produced.
Type B â Not due to tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia. Most cases of lactic acidosis are due to reduced oxygen delivery as a result of reduced tissue perfusion from shock or cardiopulmonary arrest. Other conditions such as acute pulmonary edema, can cause severe hypoxemia leading to reduced O2 delivery.
