Summary
This study looked at 192 adults with septic shock in the ICU. Researchers compared a simple bedside test (capillary refill time) with standard blood lactate levels to see which better predicts patient outcomes. They found that both prolonged capillary refill and high lactate levels are linked to worse prognosis. The goal is to help doctors quickly identify high-risk patients using easier methods.
