Ultrasound-measured brachial artery reactive hyperemia in critically ill patients: an observational study
Reactive hyperemia of the brachial artery is impaired in undifferentiated critically ill patients, lower in non-survivors compared to survivors, and independently associated with hospital mortality. Brachial artery reactive hyperemia improves significantly over time in survivors but not in non-survivors.
