Vital Signs Monitoring During Imaging

… The rat head was secured with ear bars and a bite bar in a water-heated animal cradle. Respiration rate, PO 2 , and heart rate were continuously monitored throughout all measurements (MouseOx, Starr Life Sciences, Oakmont, PA). … Background. Peripheral nerve injury leads to changes in neuronal activity in the contralateral and ipsilateral primary […]

… described previously [20, 47]. Briefly, non-invasive pulse oximetry (MouseOX Plus Vital Sign Monitor, StarrTM Life Sciences, Oakmont, PA, USA) was used to verify the physiological status of subjects. Heart and respiration rates … Co-administration of isoflurane (ISO) and nitrous oxide(N2O) triggers neuronal apoptosis in postnatal day 7 (PND 7) rats. Inthis study, the effect […]

… Briefly, non-invasive pulse oximetry (N-395 Pulse Oximeter, Nellcor, Pleasanton, CA; MouseOX Plus Vital Sign Monitor, Starr™ Life Sciences, Oakmont, PA), capnography (Tidal Wave Hand-held capnography, Respironics, Murrysville, PA), sphygmomanometry (Critikon … he inhalation anesthetics nitrous oxide (N2 O) and isoflurane (ISO) are commonly used for general anesthesia in human infants. Combined exposures to N2O […]

Respiration rate, PO2 and heart rate were continuously monitored by an oximeter (MouseOx, STARR Life Sciences Corp., PA.). All procedures were performed using standard sterile precautions. Forepaw stimulation … As a critical basis of functional brain imaging, neurovascular coupling describes the link between neuronal and hemodynamic changes. The majority of in vivo neurovascular coupling studies […]

.. 37 ± 0.5°C via a circulating warm water pad. Respiration rate, heart rate, and oxygen saturation were continuously monitored (MouseOx, STARR Life Science Corp., Oakmont, PA). MRI. MRI studies were performed on a 7 T, 30 … This study tested the sensitivity of an arterial spin labeling MRI method to image changes in retinal […]

… During the entire stimulation/fMRI experiment, blood oxygen saturation, breathing and heart rate were continuously monitored using a MRI-compatible pulse oxymeter (MouseOx TM, Star Life Sciences Corp. Pittsburgh PA, USA). … Signal processing in the hippocampal formation and resultant signal propagation to cortical and subcortical structures during high frequency stimulation (i.e. 100 Hz) of the […]
