An optimized technique for the microsurgical creation of arterial bifurcation aneurysms mimicking bifurcation human cerebral aneurysms is described. A venous pouch is sutured into an artificially created true bifurcation of both common carotid arteries. Facilitated microsurgical techniques and aggressive postoperative anticoagulation and analgesia lead to minimized morbidity rates and high aneurysm patency rates.

We describe a method for creating a reliable model of cerebral venous hypertension in the adult mouse. This model has been widely described and tested in the rat. This new counterpart in the mice opens the possibility of using genetic modified animals and thereby broadens the applications of the model.

Chronic catheterization of blood vessels in the rat is often required for administration of substances, obtain blood sample over a period of time or for direct conscious blood pressure measurements. Femoral arterial catheterization of the rat and corresponding measurements of blood pressure in the conscious animal will be demonstrated.

The Frank-Starling-Sarnoff curve is clinically important and describes the relationship between cardiac preload and output. This report illustrates a novel method of simultaneous jugular venous and carotid arterial Doppler velocimetry as transient surrogates of cardiac preload and output, respectively; this approach is enabled by wireless, wearable Doppler ultrasound.

Source: James W Bonz, MD, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA Central venous access is necessary in a multitude of clinical situations, including vascular access, vasopressor and caustic medication delivery, central venous pressure monitoring, volume resuscitation, total parental nutrition, hemodialysis, and frequent phlebotomy. There are three veins in the body that are accessed for central venous cannulation: the internal jugular, the subclavian, and the...
FAQs
The size and direction of the difference reflect what tissues do to a substance during capillary passage. Cellular extraction lowers the venous concentration for substances such as oxygen or nutrients, whereas cellular release raises venous concentrations of carbon dioxide or metabolites. Thus, paired values provide a functional signal of net tissue uptake or production rather than merely a blood concentration.
Blood flow influences how rapidly a substance reaches and leaves a tissue bed, so it helps shape the measured concentration difference. A result reflects both cellular handling and the movement of blood through the organ. Considering flow alongside paired concentrations helps clinical researchers distinguish changes related to tissue exchange from changes related to delivery or circulation.
The comparison can show whether an organ or tissue bed removes, releases, or transforms a substance as blood passes through it. For oxygen and nutrients, the pattern can inform assessment of utilization; for carbon dioxide and metabolites, it can indicate tissue production. Measurements involving some drugs may also provide information about distribution and organ processing.
The samples should represent the arterial blood entering the tissue exchange process and the venous blood returning afterward, with sampling site documented carefully. Timing also needs attention because concentrations may change as tissue activity or drug exposure changes. Consistent site selection and coordinated collection make the paired values more comparable and improve interpretation.
Paired measurements are useful when the goal is to examine oxygen utilization, organ function, metabolic balance, or drug distribution. Rather than relying on a single blood concentration, investigators compare the two values to assess what occurs across tissue beds. This approach can connect circulating measurements with organ-level exchange, uptake, release, or transformation.
A venous sample reflects the tissues that supplied that blood, so its concentration may vary with the sampling location. The comparison is therefore meaningful only when the arterial and venous specimens are interpreted in relation to their sources and timing. Recognizing this limitation helps prevent a local tissue signal from being treated as a universal whole-body measurement.
