    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Accurate control of arterial blood pressure is crucial for physiological research.
    • Manual methods for controlling arterial pressure in animal models are often technically challenging and imprecise.
    • Investigating the effects of transient or steady-state arterial pressure changes on organ function requires reliable pressure manipulation tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and validate a servo-controlled aortic clamp for precise control of femoral arterial pressure in anesthetized rats.
    • To assess the accuracy, response time, and long-term stability of the developed aortic clamp system.
    • To provide a more convenient and accurate method for manipulating arterial pressure in experimental settings.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • A servo-controlled aortic clamp system was designed, including mechanical and electrical components.
    • The system was tested in anesthetized rats to control femoral arterial pressure by compressing the abdominal aorta.
    • System performance was evaluated based on pressure control accuracy, transient response, and long-term stability.

    Main Results:

    • The servo-controlled aortic clamp achieved long-term (30 min) mean pressure control within ±2 mmHg.
    • The system exhibited rapid response times, with step changes in pressure achieved in less than 2 seconds.
    • Short-term transients of ±3 mmHg were observed, indicating high precision.
    • The clamp system demonstrated superior accuracy and convenience compared to manual pressure control methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed servo-controlled aortic clamp offers accurate and convenient control of aortic pressure in rats.
    • This system minimizes technical difficulties associated with manual pressure manipulation.
    • The device facilitates research into the effects of arterial pressure variations on organ function, such as renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate.
