Association of Sublingual Microcirculation Parameters and Capillary Refill Time in the Early Phase of ICU Admission.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This observational study was conducted to investigate capillary refill time (CRT) during the early phase of ICU admission in relationship with microvascular flow alteration and outcome in critically ill patients.

Design

Prospective, observational, pilot study.

Setting

ICU in a university hospital.

Patients

Two hundred eighty-two critically ill adult patients admitted to the ICU.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

All patients underwent simultaneous measurements by CRT and sidestream dark field imaging within 24 hours of ICU admission. Other clinical data such as demographic characteristics, hemodynamics, laboratory values, treatment, and physiologic parameters were also included simultaneously. Microcirculatory measuremen
