Association of sublingual microcirculation parameters and endothelial glycocalyx dimensions in resuscitated sepsis

Abstract Background The endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) covers the luminal surface of the vascular endothelium and plays an important protective role in systemic inflammatory states and particularly in sepsis. Its breakdown leads to capillary leak and organ dysfunction. Moreover, sepsis-induced alterat...
