Non-Clinical Vascular Infusion Technology, Volume I: The Science

This book covers the scientific principles behind the delivery systems, from both physical and physiological standpoints. This edition addresses body fluid dynamics, describes the scientific processes necessary to understand the various aspects of the physico-chemical issues relating to vascular infusion delivery, and discusses vascular infusion dynamics. It also considers all the essential elements of the preparation of a formulation intended for vascular delivery as well as assessment of compatibility of the formulation with the dosing apparatus.

This Volume, along with Volume II: The Techniques, record number 8380, provides a foundation of knowledge on infusion technology and its importance for safe clinical use of substances via this route of delivery. Features: Identifies and shares best practices for non-clinical vascular infusion; Relates physico-chemical and physiological principles to vascular infusion delivery; Comments at various points throughout each chapter on scientific principles related to vascular infusion delivery; Presents modern practices and procedures in line with up-to-date equipment development; Provides guidance on choices for the most acceptable methodologies from an animal welfare perspective; Offers recommendations for in-life assessments in order to monitor the success or problems with the vascular infusion delivery; Makes comparisons with human data in many areas.
