Comparison of two non-invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring techniques in brown bears (Ursus arctos)

Comparison of platelet aggregation during hibernation and non-hibernation in Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos)

Management of Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) in Europe

Genetic relationships of extant brown bears (Ursus arctos) and polar bears (Ursus maritimus).

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) and brown bears (Ursus arctos) are closely related species for which extensive mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenetic comparisons have been made. We used previously published genotype data for 8 microsatellite DNA loci from 930 brown bears in 19 populations and 473 polar bears in 16 populations to compare the population genetic relationships of extant populations o...

Treatment of hypoxemia during anesthesia of brown bears (Ursus arctos).

This study assessed whether arterial oxygenation could be increased by treatment with intranasal oxygen supplementation in brown bears (Ursus arctos) with hypoxemia during anesthesia with medetomidine-zolazepam-tiletamine. Arterial blood samples were collected anaerobically from the femoral artery before and during oxygen supplementation. An oxygen flow rate of 2-5 L/min administered intranasal...

Techniques for Non-Invasive Monitoring of Arterial Blood Pressure

Since both, hypotension and hypertension, can potentially impair the function of vital organs such as heart, brain, or kidneys, monitoring of arterial blood pressure (BP) is a mainstay of hemodynamic monitoring in acutely or critically ill patients. Arterial BP can either be obtained invasively via an arterial catheter or non-invasively. Non-invasive BP measurement provides either intermittent ...
