Peripheral perfusion index predicting prolonged ICU stay earlier and better than lactate in surgical patients: an observational study

Abstract Background Peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is an indicator reflecting perfusion. Patients undergoing long time surgeries are more prone to hypoperfusion and increased lactate. Few studies focusing on investigating the association between PPI and surgical patients’ prognoses. We performed t...
