The aim of this study is to give a hands-on description of the successful monitoring procedure established for extended liver resections and liver transplantations in rats and to provide the typical range of data as obtained before and after a hepatobiliary surgical procedure (right median hepatic vein [RMHV] ligation) in healthy male Lewis rats. All manipulations were performed in anaesthetized (3% isoflurane in O 2  1 L/min) healthy male Lewis rats (250–350 g) with an integrated multiple-channel intraoperative monitor (Powerlab® system) using a series of sensors for data acquisition. Vital parameters (body temperature, electrocardiogram, respiratory rate and heart rate), haemodynamic parameters (mean arterial blood pressure [MAP] and central venous pressure) and liver perfusion parameters (inferior hepatic venous pressure, portal vein pressure [PVP], blood flow of portal vein and inferior hepatic cava) were monitored. Catheters were placed in microsurgical technique after careful exposure guided by anatomical landmarks. Vascular incisions were closed with interrupted sutures. Complete instrumentation of animals was performed within 1 h. No specific complications occurred. Vital and haemodynamic parameters such as MAP (94 ± 16.2 mmHg) or portal pressure (9.6 ± 1.34 mmHg) were in the same range as known for humans (MAP = 100 mmHg, portal pressure = 5–10 mmHg), whereas parameters dependent on the size of the body or organ such as flow rates (portal blood flow = 16.2 ± 6 mL/min) were obviously different compared with those of humans (portal blood flow = 800 mL/min). In conclusion, the normal range for vital, haemodynamic and liver perfusion parameters was reported as reference values to allow quality control for future surgical hepatobiliary research projects. As the procedure can be easily learned, the extensive intraoperative monitoring can be used routinely.
