متن کاملAn automated quasi-continuous capillary refill timing device
Capillary refill time (CRT) is a simple means of cardiovascular assessment which is widely used in clinical care. Currently, CRT is measured through manual assessment of the time taken for skin tone to return to normal colour following blanching of the skin surface. There is evidence to suggest that manually assessed CRT is subject to bias from ambient light conditions, a lack of standardisatio...
متن کاملValidity and reliability of measurement of capillary refill time in children: a systematic review.

METHODS We searched Medline (from 1948), Embase (from 1980) and CINAHL (from 1991) to June 2014 to identify studies with information on the normal range of CRT in healthy children,...

متن کاملCapillary refill time is a poor predictor of 30-day mortality: an observational cohort study
