Learn essential experimental techniques and methodologies for studying fluid balance disorders through hands-on laboratory demonstrations covering critical models and procedures. Explore the fundamental mechanisms of edema development by examining the imbalance between intra- and extravascular fluid exchange, master the creation and analysis of hypoxia mouse models, understand the physiological responses in rabbit hemorrhagic shock experiments, and investigate acute heart failure using toad models. Gain practical experience with various animal models while developing a deep understanding of pathophysiological processes in cardiovascular and fluid balance research.
