Temperature Influence on Scanning Laser Doppler Flowmetry in Anesthetized Mice
As body temperature influences haemodynamics through a variety of autonomous mechanisms, temperature alterations may influence tissue perfusion during reconstructive- or micro-surgery. Anesthesia centrally impairs the ability to thermoregulate. We sought to describe the influence of anesthesia-induced-hypothermia on cutaneous perfusion in mice, alongside correction with active warming.
