Abstract:
Observation of microcirculation plays an important role on the basic research and clinical diagnosis. However, an observation as such on the anesthetized patient will cause stress reaction, thus it will affect normal physiological state and interfere experimental results. At present, a method adopting dorsal microcirculatory chamber (DMC) to do in vivo observation in an unanesthetized state can eliminate the influence of anesthesia. Based on the research reports and practical applications of this method abroad, we summarize, in here, the configuration, function, observation techniques; the application of DMC; and the research states of microcirculation observation.
