Hi everyone,
I am doing in vivo imaging in the kidney of mice and I want to measure the blood pressure of the mice while I am imaging them.
I want to control the anesthesia depth on one hand but also correlate findings from the imaging with the blood pressure on the other hand.
We have an AD instruments Powerlab and the device to measure the blood pressure invasively via the artery. But I would prefer to measure it non-invasively.
Does anybody have experience with blood pressure measurements in unconscious, isoflurane-anesthetized mice? Does the tail cuff systems (as the NIBP from AD instr.) work there reproducible?
Thank you!
