Clinical Predictors of Capillary Refill Time and Their Association With Triage Categories From the Emergency Department Perspective: A Cross-Sectional Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating No clinical intervention (observational study only) for Triage and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 313 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This observational study aims to determine the correlation between capillary refill time (CRT) and vital parameters in patients presenting to the emergency department. It explores whether CRT is associated with triage categories and vital signs in non-traumatic patients, including oxygen saturation (SpO₂), heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body temperature, forearm temperature, and respiratory rate. Patients admitted to the emergency department of a training and research hospital were assigned triage codes (green, yellow, red). Their CRT was measured three times, and vital signs were recorded accordingly.
