Knee mottling should get ur attention, here is why: mottling score (0=no mottling, 1=coin size, 2=superior edge of the knee cap, 3=middle thigh, 4=groin fold and 5=anything higher than the groin fold) at 6 h was predictive of 14 day ICU mortality #MedEd

Mottling score was predictive of mortality regardless of vasopressor dose needed. It was also associated with lactate levels and low urinary output. #MedEd
