Abstract
The etiological factor of cerebral ischemia in the vast majority of cases is vascular embolism. In the present study we investigated embolism caused by atmospheric air bubbles injected into the internal carotid artery of conscious rats. Immediately after embolism modeling, behavioral abnormalities were observed in the animals, and after 24 h, foci of brain damage were detected. The death of animals was observed within 5 days after embolism. The proposed experimental model of cerebral ischemia in conscious rats is more relevant and better corresponds to real conditions than the model on narcotized animals and allows to perform physiological tests immediately after modeling.
