title: Animal experimental model for studying respiratory and cardiovascular parameters in unanaesthetized rabbits.
abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine the reproducibility of measurements of respiratory and cardiovascular functions in unanaesthetized rabbits. Observed coefficient of variations (CV) and hence the reproducibilities of different measurements in the present study were highly comparable to values reported for anaesthetized rabbits. So it could be concluded that anaesthetization is not a prerequisite to study respiratory and cardiovascular function in rabbits.
