Oscillation frequency of skin microvascular blood flow is associated with mortality in critically ill patients

Background: Microcirculatory dysfunction has been hypothesized to play a key role in the pathophysiology of multiple organ failure and, consequently, patient outcome. The objective of this study was to investigate the differences in reactive hyperemia response and oscillation frequency in surviving...
