Short description of the course
This telemetry course will emphasize the
hands-on learning of advanced implantation techniques. Attendees will
implant BP and ECG transmitters in small laboratory animals. Use of the
operating microscope and surgical instruments will be demonstrated and
discussed. A working telemetry system and computerized collection of
data will also be demonstrated. Instructors will cover small animal
telemetry surgery techniques and the most recent approaches. Emphasis
will be placed on learning practical skills and methods from experienced
instructors. This course is given in close co-operation with Data
Science International (DSI).
You can choose between the
following techniques:
-
Implantation of an ECG transmitter in mice,
rats
or guinea pigs
-
Implantation of a BP transmitter in mice,
rats
or guinea pigs
-
Implantation of a combined ECG and BP transmitter in rats
and guinea pigs
During this course the following
theoretical lectures will be presented:
-
Past
and future of the radio telemetry technique.
-
Surgical aspects: ECG and BP transmitter implantation in small
laboratory animals.
-
Surgical problems which can occur
