Water content of the endothelial glycocalyx layer estimated by volume kinetic analysis

Abstract Background The water volume of the endothelial glycocalyx layer has been estimated at 0.7 to 1.7 L using tracer methods of unclear value. The present study attempts to measure this fluid volume by analyzing the kinetics of a crystalloid fluid load. Methods An intravenous infusion of approxi...
