Premedication (prior to perfusion) consisted of the IV administration of 1 mg/kg of metubine iodide to inhibit shivering during external and extracorporeal cooling and 420 IU/kg sodium heparin as an anticoagulent. Two 0.77 mm I.D. Argyle Medicut 15" Sentinel line catheters with Pharmaseal K-69 stopcocks attached to the luer fittings of the catheters were placed in the right femoral artery and vein. The catheters were connected to Gould Model P23Db pressure transducers and arterial and venous pressures were monitored throughout the course of perfusion." -- Eugen* Leitl http://leitl.org <<< He asked me to post it as he doesn't currently have a cryonet subscription. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://John.deRivaz.com for websites including Cryonics Europe, Longevity Report, The Venturists, Porthtowan, Alec Harley Reeves - inventor, Arthur Bowker - potter, de Rivaz genealogy, Nomad .. and more Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=22619
