Glycocalyx Monitoring in Major Abdominal Surgery

Evaluation of Perioperative Glycocalyx Monitoring in Major Abdominal Surgery

The study of the microcirculation and glycocalyx could be an essential element in the monitoring of our patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. It would enable us to better target the objectives of anaesthesia and resuscitation, which until now have been based essentially on macro-circulatory parameters.

This monitoring is possible in real time and real conditions by micro-camera GlycoCheck™ (Microvascular Health Solutions Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah, USA), a non-invasive monitoring allowing the study of sublingual microcirculation and glycocalyx.
