Abstract
A rat model is introduced which enables investigations in anticoagulated blood with continuous measurements by a flow-through electrode system. In the present study, a potentiometric ion-selective electrode (ISE)-system was used for measuring Ca2+, K+, Na+ and pH in rats. The setup was adjusted to an extracorporeal blood-volume of 0.750 ml. This permits indirect measurements of the analytes via a dialysis membrane, with electrical separation of the ISE's and the animal. The flow-rates of blood and dialysis-solution were adjusted in such a way that water diffusing from the aqueous dialysis solution into the blood, across the dialysis membrane, does not alter the haematocrit. Polyethyleneglycol-hirudin was used for anticoagulation, since it was superior to heparin. The assembly enables continuous measurements in the living anaesthetized rat over a time period of at least 3 hours.
