Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This proof-of-concept study examines whether 1) sublingual measurement in dehydrated old patients is feasible, 2) frailty and incompliance in old, awake patients affects video-quality, 3) dehydration impacts microcirculation This prospective observational study includes clinically dehydrated patients aged ≥ 65 years, who have spontaneous circulation and access to the sublingual mucosa, immediately after admission. Dehydration will be assessed clinically. A sidestream dark field camera (SDF) will be used for measurement. Video-quality will be evaluated with MIQS (microcirculation image quality score). Both AVA 4.3C- and AVA POEM-software analyzed the videos. Seventeen patients ≥ 65 years not showing dehydration served as control.
