capillary refill


Explanation:
From: Medical Abbreviations 15th Edition Neil M Davis.
One of the meanings of CR is capillary refill.


Example sentence(s):
  • To investigate the validity of the two-second upper limit of normal and to examine the variation of capillary refill with age and temperature, we measured capillary refill in 100 healthy child, 104 adult, and 100 elderly volunteers.
  • Normal capillary refill time is usually less than 2 seconds.
