Capillary refill time as a guide for operational decision-making process of XXXX : Preliminary results.

@entity1 @entity788 @entity353 @entity158
AIM: To investigate the efficacy of a novel intraoperative diagnostic technique for @entity1 with preliminary diagnosis of @entity788 ( @entity788 ). METHODS: @entity1 with pancreatic surgery were reviewed to identify those who received a preliminary diagnosis of @entity788 between January 2010 and January 2014. The following data were collected prospectively for @entity1 with a pathological diagnosis of @entity788 : clinical and demographic features, radiological and operative findings, treatment procedure, and intraoperative capillary refill time (CRT) in the pancreatic bed. RESULTS: Eight @entity1 (six males, two females; mean age: 51.4 years) met the eligibility criteria of pathologically confirmed diagnosis. The most frequent presenting symptoms were @entity158 and @entity353 . The most commonly conducted preoperative imaging studies were computed tomography and endoscopic retrograde pancreaticodoudenography. The most common intraoperative macroscopic observations were mass formation in the pancreatic head and diffuse hypervascularization in the pancreatic bed. All @entity1 showed decreased CRT (median value: 0.76 s, range: 0.58-1.35). One-half of the @entity1 underwent surgical resection and the other half received medical treatment without any further surgical intervention. CONCLUSION: This preliminary study demonstrates a novel experience with measurement of CRT in the pancreatic bed during the intraoperative evaluation of @entity1 with @entity788 .
