Measuring Right Ventricular Pressure in Conscious G-Stressed Miniature Swine.
Abstract
This report presents a technique which allows the introduction of a Millar pressure transducer into the right cardiac chambers, via a chronically implanted venous catheter, in conscious animals. The transducer can then be secured, and pressures in the right ventricle can be measured in conscious animals during exposure to various stressful environments. Since neither analgesia nor anesthesia is needed before, during, or after transducer placement, measurements can be made in (fully) unanesthetized animals.
