Abstract

Objective

The capillary refill test (CR test) is often used in emergency care, and the capillary refill time (CR time) is used to assess a patient's circulatory condition. The objective of this study was to investigate if repeated CR tests affect CR time.

Methods

Thirteen healthy volunteers had repeated CR tests performed on the sternum, forehead, and fingers. The tests were filmed using polarized reflectance spectroscopy and dedicated software for objective quantification of the CR time.

Results

There were no statistical differences between the first CR test in a series and the following. However, there were statistically significant differences in CR time between the different anatomical sites.

Conclusion

Repeated CR tests, separated by a minimum of 2 min, do not affect CR time in healthy volunteers. The site where the test is performed is of importance for CR time.

重复毛细血管再充盈试验对皮肤微循环的影响

目的：毛细血管再充盈试验（CR 试验）通常用于急诊护理，而毛细血管再充盈时间（CR 时间）则用于评估患者的循环状况。本研究旨在调查重复毛细血管再充盈试验是否会影响毛细血管再充盈时间：方法：13 名健康志愿者在胸骨、前额和手指上重复进行 CR 测试。使用偏振反射光谱仪和专用软件对测试进行拍摄，以客观量化 CR 时间：结果：在一系列测试中，第一次 CR 测试与随后的测试之间没有统计学差异。然而，不同解剖部位的 CR 时间在统计学上存在显著差异：结论：在健康志愿者中，重复 CR 测试（至少间隔 2 分钟）不会影响 CR 时间。进行测试的部位对 CR 时间有重要影响。

期刊介绍： The first international journal dedicated to publishing reviews and original articles from this exciting field, the Journal of Biophotonics covers the broad range of research on interactions between light and biological material. The journal offers a platform where the physicist communicates with the biologist and where the clinical practitioner learns about the latest tools for the diagnosis of diseases. As such, the journal is highly interdisciplinary, publishing cutting edge research in the fields of life sciences, medicine, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The coverage extends from fundamental research to specific developments, while also including the latest applications.
