To provide a direct measure of ventilatory parameters, a head-out plethysmograph chamber is used, while measurement of pleural pressure is used to provide a direct measure of airway resistance and compliance. [Pg.143]

Surgical Recovery and Training If wound clips are used, they are removed approximately 8 to 10 days post surgery. Rats are placed in clean polycarbonate boxes with soft bedding for ap- [Pg.144]
