Description
Pavol Švorc, Soňa Grešová, and Viktória Novotná mine four years of rat studies for the baseline blood pressures that experiments quietly depend on. Anesthesia choice and the artery used for invasive readings could each shift that baseline. The team searched five databases for studies from 2021 to 2024 and extracted control values. Normotensive male rats under the four common anesthetic families were compared, along with awake animals.
No consistent gap tied baseline pressure to the anesthetic chosen, for the carotid and femoral sites that dominate practice. Too few hypertensive rat data existed for a fair test. The authors urge caution, since methods and reporting varied widely.
