The arterial lactate had a good predictive power in evaluating the prognosis of patients with acute paraquat poisoning. In the case of hospitals without facilities to test plasma paraquat concentration, measurement of the arterial lactate may be a simple and practical tool for assessing the severity of paraquat poisoning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
