A low peripheral perfusion index can accurately detect prolonged capillary refill time during general anesthesia: A prospective observational study

Conclusion: A PI <1.8 could accurately predict a low perfusion status during general anesthesia in the operating room. A PI <1.8 could be used to alert the possibility of a low perfusion status in the operating room.
