Evaluating Capillary Refill Time (CRT)
Lets start with the basics….
Capillary refill time (CRT) is a commonly performed procedure that we do “without thinking” but maybe we should think a little more about how we do it? Any variation in the chosen site, pressure strength or length of time can affect the results and reduce the reliability of this simple procedure. Using a standardised approach at your practice may improve the reliability of CRT to evaluate the cardiovascular status of your patients.
