since even higher ventricular csf lactate levels can be survived when not caused by head injury , and since no significant ph changes were related to the ventricular csf lactic acidosis in these artificially ventilated patients , it is concluded that ventricular csf lactic acidosis is indicative of a severe , although not necessarily intractable , disturbance of brain function associated with intracellular lactate production and acidosis .
