Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is eD bedside point-of-care lactate in patients with suspected sepsis associated with reduced time to iv fluids and mortality?
Answer: Implementation of bedside POC lactate measurement in adult ED patients with suspected sepsis reduces time to test results and time to administration of IV fluids but not antibiotics. A significant reduction in mortality and ICU admissions was also demonstrated, which is likely due, at least in part, to POC testing.
Output (English): yes
