Abstract

Translational surgical research models in swine are crucial for developing safe preclinical protocols. However, the success of the experimental surgeries does not solely rely on the research team's surgical skills; perioperative care and management procedures, like intubation, central venous line, and arterial line placement, are necessary and of the utmost importance for favorable experiment results. As it is uncommon for research teams to have anesthesiologists or any other staff other than the surgical team, the surgical team involved in translational research must acquire and/or develop the skills to perform the perioperative care. The purpose of this paper is to show the techniques of intubation, central venous catheter, and arterial line placement used and perfected at the Toronto Organ Preservation Laboratory over the last 10 years, to be used as a reference for future researchers joining either this team or any other lab performing translational research protocols in swine and/or abdominal transplantation.
