About this trial
Tissue perfusion has been identified as an early prognosis factor in patients admitted to intensive care. However, little is known about the effects of different hemodynamic interventions performed in clinical routine on peripheral tissue perfusion.
The aim of this work is to study the kinetics of CRT and local skin blood flow following therapeutic intervention (fluid challenge, vasopressor or inotropic drug).
