Jose Meade Aguilar

Jose Meade Aguilar, an Internal Medicine resident at Boston University, dives into the ANDROMEDA-SHOCK trial. He compares capillary refill time (CRT) to lactate-guided resuscitation in septic shock, highlighting CRT's advantages as a rapid assessment tool. The trial's aim and multicenter design are outlined, with a focus on the patient demographics and measuring techniques used. While the results showed an 8.5% mortality difference favoring CRT, it wasn't statistically significant. Jose also emphasizes the practical use of CRT in clinical settings.
