Notes for people accustomed to thinking in miles. To convert from km to miles divide by 8 and multiply by 5. To convert from miles to km divide by 5 and multiply by 8. So 80 km = 50 miles, 160 km = 100 miles.
Causes of Lactic Acidosis. Lactic Acidosis is caused if a person reaches the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold. This is the upper limit of the ability of an individual's body to exercise. When a person exercises at a limit below the lactate threshold, very little lactic acid will be produced.
Lactic acidosis can occur in acute severe asthma due to inadequate oxygen delivery to the respiratory muscles to meet an elevated oxygen demand3 or due to fatiguing respiratory muscles4 . A less recognised cause of lactic acidosis is treatment with salbutamol. The mechanism of this complication is poorly understood. Salbutamol is the most commonly used short acting Î²agonist.
