The effects of a reduced fractional inspired oxygen concentration on ventilation and A-a oxygen gradient in isoflurane anesthetized horses
Master of Science === Department of Clinical Sciences === Rose M. McMurphy === Hypoventilation (PaCO2 > 45 mmHg) and large P(A-a)O2 gradients due to V/Q mismatch and shunt, are common during isoflurane anesthesia in horses. A fraction of inspired oxygen < 50% has been shown to improve ventilat...
