An autoperfusion technique for nonsteady-state vascular pressure-flow analysis in the rat.
A technique was developed to measure pressure-flow relationships in the autoperfused intact subclavian vascular bed of areflexic rats. Changes in blood flow and perfusion pressure were produced by occlusion of the aortic arch. This perfusion technique is suitable for evaluating vascular distensibility and responsiveness in the rat.
