Capillary refill assesses peripheral blood flow and circulatory status by measuring the time it takes for color to return to the nail bed after pressure is applied. Typically, a healthy capillary refill time is less than 2 seconds in adults. Prolonged refill times may indicate poor circulation, dehydration, or shock. This quick assessment is often performed in emergency settings to evaluate a patient's hemodynamic stability.
