Inclusion Criteria

All consecutive adult patients admitted to the intensive care for circulatory shock resuscitation in whom abnormal peripheral perfusion is still present despite normalization of global hemodynamic parameters are eligible for this study.

Exclusion Criteria

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Capillary refill time (s), skin-difference temperature gradient (0C),<br /><br>peripheral perfusion index (a.u.), resting peripheral tissue oxygenation (StO2)<br /><br>values (%), rate of StO2 desaturation (%/min), rate of StO2 recovery (%/s),<br /><br>sublingual microcirculation parameters [total vessel density (mm/mm2), perfused<br /><br>vessel density (mm/mm2), and vessel diameters (µm), red blood cell velocity<br /><br>(µm /sec), proportion of perfused vessels (%), microvascular flow index (a.u.),<br /><br>and flow heterogeneity (a.u.)], gastric perfusion parameters (gastric mucosa<br /><br>CO2 and EtCO2 difference).</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
