ABSTRACT
Background: Mottling score and central venous oxygen saturation are described as a clinical evaluation of microcirculation impairment having a crucial role in the physiopathology of the sepsic shock. This study describes mottling incidence and mottling score in septic shock patients according to central venous oxygen saturation. Methods: We prospectively analyzed the data of patients admitted to ICU between October 2022 to December 2022 in a tertiary teaching hospital. All septic patients in whom the ScvO2 was measured and mottling scores were evaluated were included. Data collection was realized at ICU admission (H0) and after six hours (H6); after initial resusciation. Hemodynanamic parameters, the mottling score (from 0 to 5), based on mottling area widening from the knees to the periphery and ScvO2 measured from a central intravenous catheter. Results: A total of 62 patients were included. Among patients with ScvO2
