EALAS2023 - Workshop "Vascular Catherization"

EALAS - Workshop

---

The objective of this workshop is to allow the participants to work under the highest standards of vascular catheterization in experimental models. It could welcome both junior surgeons willing to learn the basics of rodent vascular catheterization and more experienced surgeons who are looking for refinement “tips and tricks”. The workshop will start with an aseptic condition briefing. Demonstration videos of a rat jugular vein catheterization and access button fixation will follow. Attendees will be invited to perform their own catheterization, under the supervision of international experts. If time allows, more experienced surgeons will be encouraged to continue with additional procedures such as carotid artery or femoral vein/artery catheterization.
During this wet lab, the following “keys to success” will be described in detail: 
·       Aseptic conditions
·       Catheter placement
·       Access system placement
·       Suturing techniques
·       Lock solution management
