Contribution of Capillary Refilling Time and Skin Mottling Score to Predict ICU Admission of Patients with Septic or haemorrhagic Shock Admitted to the Emergency Department: A TRCMARBSAU Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In the emergency department (ED), the severity assessment of shock is a fundamental step prior to the admission in the intensive care unit (ICU). As biomarkers are time consuming to evaluate the severity of micro- and macro-circulation alteration, capillary refill time and skin mottling score are two simple, available clinical criteria validated to predict mortality in the ICU. The aim of the present study is to provide clinical evidence that capillary refill time and skin mottling score assessed in the ED also predict ICU admission of patients with septic or haemorrhagic shock.

Methods

This trial is an observational, non-randomised controlled study. A total of 1500 patients admitted to the ED for septic or haemorrhagic shock will be enrolled into the study. The pr
