Observational StudyCore-to-skin temperature gradient measured by thermography predicts day-8 mortality in septic shock: A prospective observational study.
Septic shock is associated with altered peripheral perfusion. Core-to-skin temperature gradient depends on skin perfusion and microcirculatory function. We hypothesized that a high core-to-skin temperature gradient is correlated with mortality in septic shock. ⋯ Core-to-index finger temperature gradient higher than 7 °C predicts day-8 mortality in septic shock and is correlated with other tissue perfusion markers.
