This
large animal implantable telemetry workshop will emphasise the hands-on
learning of advanced surgical implantation techniques including intubation
technique. Attendees will implant BP and ECG transmitters in pig models. A
working telemetry system and computerised collection of data will also be

techniques and the most recent approaches. Emphasis will be placed on

there will be places for four participants. If
we receive more then 16 registration applicants we immediately will
announce an extra date in the second half of 2006.
