To determine the agreement of fingertip and sternum CRT in children
Aim

• Search literature relevant to question• Select useful paper to discuss• Determine validity and reliability of paper in answering
question• Assess whether clinical practice needs to change
Objectives

• CRT 1st used in battlefields in 1940s• Champion et al arbitrarily chose upper limit of 2 sec,
used as part of scoring system• Limited research in its use in children (particularly
sternal)• Research in neonates shown that length of pressure and
degree of pressure affect CRT
Background

• CRT used as part of assessment in all ill children• ALSG and NICE guidelines• Normal < 2 sec• Must press for 5 sec• Central (sternum) OR peripheral (finger tip)• Used interchangeably but should they?

• Fingertip CRT on average 0.42s quicker than sternum CRT
• Statistically significant difference between fingertip and sternum CRT (p<0.001)
• Weak relationship between the two• Fingertip CRT showed greater variability

Pearson's correlation coefficient test demonstrated a weak relationship between fingertip and sternum capillary refill time (CRT) (r=0.18, p>0.05).

The Bland Altman comparison showed the mean difference between fingertip and sternum capillary refill time (CRT) was −0.49±0.51 with an upper and lower limit of agreement ranging from −1.5 to 0.53, indicating sternum CRT ranged between 1.5 s slower to 0.53 s quicker than
fingertip CRT—upper and lower limits of agreement.

• Small number• One A&E setting • Well children• Difference statistically significant but not clinically • Excluded dark skin
Limitations
![Page 24: SCH Journal Club The Agreement of Fingertip and Sternum Capillary Refill Time in Children Thurs 6 th June 2013 Lindsay Lewis St6 Image removed for copyright.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c735503460f9492588f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Fingertip CRT on average 0.42 s quicker than sternum CRT
• Difference is statistically significant• However, not clinically significant
• Measurements of CRT taken at the fingertip and sternum are not comparable in ‘well’ children
• More research needed!
Summary and Conclusion
![Page 25: SCH Journal Club The Agreement of Fingertip and Sternum Capillary Refill Time in Children Thurs 6 th June 2013 Lindsay Lewis St6 Image removed for copyright.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c735503460f9492588f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Box 1 Five point recommendation for carrying out the capillary refill time test • Consider any factors that are likely to alter capillary refill time (CRT)
(eg, consider not doing CRT if coldness of poor lighting has the potential to effect the result).
• Choose either the sternum or the fingertip pulp site (consider skin colour and size of child's finger).
• Using your index finger apply enough pressure to cause the skin to blanche (turn pale).
• Apply pressure for 5 s.• Remove pressure and immediately count aloud how long it takes for
skin to return from blanched back to pretest colour.CRT Should be 2–3 s• One person should carry out CRT and it should not be repeated or
sites compared.• When recording CRT in the patients notes the letter F or S should
be written next to the number to indicate whether the CRT was taken at the fingertip pulp or sternum, respectively.
• Fingertip CRT requires raising the hand to heart level.
