Effect of ambient temperature on capillary refill in healthy children.
To assess the effect of moderately decreased ambient temperature on capillary refill (CR) time in healthy children, and to measure the reliability of CR measurements between observers. ⋯ Decreases in ambient temperature within a range found in typical office/emergency department settings may cause significant prolongation of CR time in children with normal circulatory status. There is marked interobserver variability in the measurement of CR even when performed by experienced observers. These findings suggest limitations to the use of CR in the assessment of ill or injured children.
