Brief Summary

Capillary refill time is the time it takes for the skin to regain its initial colour after moderate pressure. It is usually performed on the patient index finger, middle finger or ring finger with the examiner's thumb and index finger for five seconds, three measurements having to be averaged. Capillary refill time has a dependent operator character, but it has been shown to be accurately correlated with 14-day mortality in septic shock, hospitalisation need in pediatric population.

The purpose of this project is to show that capillary refill time obtained by a video-assisted method has a better inter- and intra-observer reproducibility than capillary refill time obtained by a visual method.
