2020, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Therefore, PI might be an early indicator of shock in the context of a response to acute changes in blood volume. There are studies that demonstrate the relationship of peripheral finger perfusion (derived with different methods) with pulse rate, blood pressure, and cardiac flow in the previous literature (19,20). In their studies, Lima and colleagues stated that peripheral vasoconstriction was frequent in critically ill patients and this condition was associated with blood lactate and organ failure (21).

2016, Journal of Critical CareCitation Excerpt :In addition, our data must not be extrapolated to other clinical conditions than septic shock and different settings from the ICU. For example, in emergency department patients with a high suspicion of hypovolemia, capillary refill time did not appear useful to detect mild-to-moderate hypovolemia [26]. Whereas capillary refill time was only weakly correlated with arterial lactate levels and stroke volume index in postcardiac surgery pediatric patients, it was well related to these parameters in children with septic shock [27].
