Indirect Determination of Peripheral Blood Pressure in Mice during Light Anaesthesia

Peter Juel Thiis Knudsen

Abstract

Summary. A method is described for measuring blood pressure in mice during light ether anaesthesia. The method involved compression of the arteria plantaris pedis with air in a glass chamber under strong illumination. During release of pressure, the pressure was arrested when blood just refilled the artery. Values at this point varied between 60‐120 mm Hg in normal mice.
