Pig vascular access can be a challenge due to the general lack of superficial veins. Göttingen Minipigs are no exception and careful consideration has to be given already during the design process of the study. In this course, we will present the possibilities and tools that can be applied to make the study a success.
After an overall introduction to Göttingen Minipigs covering behavior, biology, and basic handling we will look closer at the vascular anatomy. That will lead to the practical and technical aspects, from simple blood sampling by venipuncture to implantation of catheters and ports. To round off, we discuss the benefits of different systems and what effect they may have on animal welfare.
At the end of the course, the participant should be able to make an informed decision about what option will work best for a given study. The technical insights of this seminar will provide the basics of catheter implantation and the experienced participant will be able to perform the procedure afterward.
Practical course with limited seats.
