The assessment of microcirculatory function plays a pivotal role in perioperative medicine and intensive care. One promising method for evaluating microcirculatory function is the microscopic analysis of the oral mucosal microvasculature. However, this method is not currently fully validated.
The aim of this study is to assess the repeatability of sublingual microcirculation measurements using the CytoCam-IDF device (Braedius Medical).
