Article
Open AccessEffect on capillary refill time of volume expansion and increase of the norepinephrine dose in patients with septic shock
Capillary refill time (CRT) has been suggested as a variable to follow during the course of septic shock. We systematically investigated the effects on CRT of volume expansion and norepinephrine.
