Tiny blood vessel coating may hold key to better surgery monitoring
NCT ID NCT06285526
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at a thin layer inside blood vessels called the glycocalyx in 78 adults having major abdominal surgery. Researchers used a special camera to measure changes in this layer during and after surgery. The goal was to see if tracking glycocalyx thickness could help doctors better manage anesthesia and fluids, but the study did not test any treatment.
