Introduction: Porcine animal models are used in biomedical research due to anatomical and physiological similarities with human patients. The study aimed to validate telemetric systemic blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) monitoring in Göttingen Minipigs, and in addition to study the effects of three different anaesthesia protocols on telemetric BP and HR measurements.
Methods: Eight female Göttingen Minipigs had telemetry transmitters implanted in the right carotid artery.
