About this study

Measurements of colloid osmotic pressure (COP) by sampling of interstitial fluid from subcutaneous tissue and plasma are well documented in animal models and human adult studies. COP plays a major role in transcapillary fluid balance and is valuable in fluid therapy planning in critically ill patients. There are no data regarding interstitial fluid COP values in neither sick nor healthy children. Sampling of interstitial fluid by the wick method in children who is under general anaesthesia (ear-nose-throat operations) gives the opportunity to identify normal COP values in this age group.
