Capillary refill time for the management of acute circulatory failure: a survey among pediatric and adult intensivists.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Recent studies have shown the prognostic value of capillary refill time (CRT) and suggested that resuscitation management guided by CRT may reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with septic shock.
