Discussion:

The patient was acidotic (pH 7.1) and had a lactate of 10 at the time of admission. The ED and surgical opinion was to treat the patient conservatively given the patient's age and comorbidities, under the palliative care physicians which the patient and her family agreed with. The patient passed away within 24 hours.
