title: Physiological measurements during radio-frequency irradiation.
abstract: Conventional techniques for monitoring physiological parameters are not suitable for use during RFR exposure. This research note describes transduction methods involving the use of fluorocarbon leads and a pneumatic pressure transducer for reliable measurement of the ECG and respiratory rate in anesthetized or restrained rats during radiofrequency irradiation.
