Title

Can we trust naked eye assessments of the capillary refill test in children? An experimental study

Description

The capillary refill test is widely used in pediatric emergency medicine and critical care although its validity and reliability are debated. Naked eye estimation is the recommended method for capillary refill time (CR time) assessment. The goal of this study was to compare naked eye estimations of the CR time in pediatric patients to quantified capillary refill time (qCR time) using polarized reflectance imaging as an objective reference, and to investigate interobserver and intra-observer consistency of naked eye assessments of CR time.
