New machine aims to take the guesswork out of a key circulation test

NCT ID NCT04538612

Summary

This study tested a new automated device called DiCART TM that measures how quickly blood returns to the skin after pressure is applied, a test known as capillary refill time. Doctors currently do this test by hand, which can lead to inconsistent results. The study involved 20 healthy volunteers to see if the device could reliably detect changes in blood flow caused by a temporary arm or leg cuff.
