Abstract
Experimental ischemic lesions in the lumbar spinal cord of the rabbit can be induced by inflating the balloon of a Swan-Ganz catheter in the abdominal aorta. The intrathecal temperature is significantly better reflected by the temperature from the thermistor of the catheter than by the rectal temperature.
