Structured PICO

Does early capillary refill time measurement predict 90-day mortality or the need for VA-ECMO support in patients with cardiogenic shock admitted to the ICU?

Population

Patients with cardiogenic shock admitted to the ICU

Intervention

Early capillary refill time measurement (prolonged >3 seconds)

Outcome

90-day mortality or the need for VA-ECMO supportcomposite

Prolonged capillary refill time >3 seconds is a simple clinical sign associated with adverse outcomes (90-day mortality or VA-ECMO need) in cardiogenic shock.

Abstract

In patients with cardiogenic shock admitted to the ICU, our preliminary data suggest that a prolonged capillary refill time >3 seconds was associated with an early prediction of 90-day mortality or the need for VA-ECMO support.
