A New Monitor to Measure Dermal Blood Flow in Critically Ill Patients: A Preliminary Study

Figure 3

Patient with severe sepsis undergoing hemodialysis. Both the MAP and the DBF curves follow the same pattern, showing a clear decrease at the onset and an increase at the end of dialysis; the FPW curve vaguely follows the MAP pattern but was very “jittery.” DBF: dermal blood flow; MAP: mean arterial pressure.
