[A method for the determination of oxygen uptake and other parameters in the conscious rabbit]. / Eine Methode zur Bestimmung der Sauerstoffaufnahme und weiterer Parameter beim wachen Kaninchen.

An equipment for the continuous recording of the oxygen consumption and other parameters in the awake rabbit is presented. Construction, function, advantages, and failings were described. More than 300 successful animal experiments were carried out by means of this equipment till now. It is characterized by a clear structure and a simple operation and has a stable function. Important indications are the course and the therapy of the shock, the energy transformation in the postoperative respectively the posttraumatic phase, and the influence of drugs on the metabolism.

[A simple method of blood pressure measurement in nonanesthesized rabbits]. / Eine einfache Methode zur Blutdruckmessung am nicht narkotisierten Kaninchen.

A technically simple method for the continuous recording of the arterial blood pressure in the conscious rabbit is described. For the placement of the catheter it is not necessary to perform a temporally expensive preparation. The median auricular artery of the animal can be used repeatedly above all.
