Skin laser Doppler (SLD) with a thermal challenge is a technique that allows simple, noninvasive evaluation of skin microcirculatory reactivity. Using this technique, researchers have demonstrated that reactivity of skin microcirculation during a thermal challenge is decreased in patients with circulatory shock and has prognostic value. "This...Read more
