Tiny blood vessel coating may hold key to fluid management in surgery
NCT ID NCT02853682
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at a thin layer of proteins and sugars that lines blood vessels, called the glycocalyx, in 28 people having heart surgery. The goal was to see if changes in this layer relate to fluid leaking out of blood vessels, which can cause swelling. By measuring glycocalyx proteins in blood samples, researchers hope to better understand how to choose the right fluids during surgery.
