This article presents a unique closed-chest technique for inducing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in mice. The presented method allows mice to breathe spontaneously while remotely inducing myocardial ischemia. This provides access to the animal for studying the dynamic processes of ischemia and reperfusion in situ and in real-time via noninvasive imaging.

Source: Madeline Lassche, MSNEd, RN and Katie Baraki, MSN, RN, College of Nursing, University of Utah, UT The purpose of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) insertion is to infuse medications, perform intravenous (IV) fluid therapy, or inject radioactive tracers for special examination procedures. Placing a PIV is an invasive procedure and requires the use of an aseptic, no-touch technique. Common IV venipuncture sites are the arms and hands in adults and the feet in children. According to...

Here, we present a protocol to measure, with high spatial resolution, the unsteady surface pressure in turbulent flows. This method demonstrates the construction of a remote microphone probe (RMP) and the determination of its frequency-dependent, complex transfer function. An analytical determination of the dynamic response is presented and validated.
FAQs
The operator’s commands are converted into controlled catheter motion through an actuation mechanism. Depending on the system, that mechanism may be mechanical, magnetic, or robotic. The resulting movements support catheter positioning while the clinician observes the device under imaging guidance. This separates command input from direct bedside manipulation and enables navigation through blood vessels or other anatomical pathways.
Mechanical, magnetic, and robotic actuation provide different ways to produce catheter movement from remote operator input. The overview identifies them as the principal control approaches, but does not assign one as universally superior. Their shared purpose is to support controlled positioning and navigation while imaging supplies visual guidance during a minimally invasive intervention.
Imaging guidance lets clinicians monitor catheter position as it moves through anatomical pathways, linking remote commands with the observed procedural result. The console-based arrangement can also increase the distance between clinicians and imaging equipment. Together, these features may improve procedural precision and ergonomics while potentially supporting greater safety during image-guided therapy.
At a high level, the clinician operates the system from a console, issues commands for catheter movement, and uses imaging to observe navigation and positioning. The actuation system then carries out the requested motion through mechanical, magnetic, or robotic control. This workflow supports catheter advancement and placement without requiring continuous direct manipulation at the bedside.
The technology can assist minimally invasive interventions that require controlled catheter navigation. The overview specifically identifies cardiac electrophysiology procedures and endovascular treatments as applications. In both settings, remote positioning is paired with imaging guidance, allowing clinicians to direct the catheter through relevant anatomical pathways while pursuing the intended diagnostic or therapeutic intervention.
Potential benefits include more precise catheter control, improved ergonomics, and enhanced safety during image-guided therapy. Increasing the distance between clinicians and imaging equipment may contribute to these advantages, while console-based operation supports remote positioning. The systems therefore extend minimally invasive practice by combining controlled actuation with continuous imaging-based navigation.
