Brisk capillary refill, typically less than 2 seconds, indicates adequate peripheral perfusion and is a quick bedside assessment nurses perform regularly. Prolonged capillary refill time suggests poor peripheral circulation, which may result from dehydration, shock, hypothermia, or peripheral vascular disease. Nurses assess capillary refill by pressing on a fingernail or toenail bed until it blanches, then releasing and timing how quickly color returns — this simple test provides immediate information about a patient's circulatory status without requiring equipment.
