| A veterinarian studying surgery to repair damaged colons in horses obtains 10 horses relinquished by their owners and slated for euthanasia because of severe lameness. The horses will be randomized into two treatment groups. The control group will have blood flow interrupted for five minutes to parts of the colon before it is restored again. The experimental group will have blood flow interrupted for five minutes, then injected with a drug before blood flow is restored. At the end of the surgery the horses will be euthanized. The goal is to assess if the drug can slow cell death and allow recovery from interruptions in blood circulation. The veterinarian works for a major research university. Does he need to obtain IRB approval? |
| | Yes, because the study involves live animals. | | No, because the horses were slated for euthanasia anyway. | | No, but he needs to obtain informed consent from the previous owners. | | None of the answer choices is correct. | |
