Our study highlights a significant inverse association between lactate levels and BE in the prehospital setting, underscoring their importance in early assessment and prognosis in emergency care. Additionally, the findings from our secondary aims emphasize the value of lactate in diagnosing acid-base disorders and predicting patient outcomes. Recognizing the nuances in lactate physiology is essential for effective prehospital care in various emergency scenarios.
