Peripheral perfusion assessment should not guide immediate post-cardiac surgery hemodynamics; hypothesis-generating for toe-core gradient on postoperative day 1.
Does clinical evaluation of peripheral perfusion correlate with global hemodynamics in adults after cardiac surgery?
Clinical indicators of peripheral perfusion do not reliably correlate with global hemodynamics immediately after cardiac surgery, though toe-core temperature gradient shows some correlation by the first postoperative day.
Bailey et al. (1990) studied this question.
