This randomized controlled trial study aimed to identify the optimal positive pressure (PP)
level that can clear atelectasis while avoiding pulmonary hyperinflation during the breath …

General anesthesia optimizes image quality of thoracic CT in dogs by providing patient
immobilization and respiratory control. However, it also comes with disadvantages that may …

Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate whether a fixed 10 cm H2O positive
end‐expiratory pressure valve would increase the aeration of, and reduce atelectasis …

Objective—To identify ventilatory protocols that yielded good image quality for thoracic CT
and hemodynamic stability in cats. Animals—7 healthy cats. Procedures—Cats were …

OBJECTIVE To quantify the effect of time and recumbency on CT measurements of lung
volume and attenuation in healthy cats under general anesthesia. ANIMALS 8 healthy …

Bronchoalveolar lavage is a common diagnostic test for dogs with suspected pulmonary
disease, however there is no published information on whether this procedure could affect …

Objective—To evaluate the effect of positive end‐expiratory pressure (PEEP) on oxygen
delivery (DO2) with 1‐lung ventilation during thoracoscopy in normal anesthetized dogs …

Background Computed tomography (CT) scanning of the lung is known to be a valuable tool
when investigating lung pathology of the dog. During CT-scan the dog needs to be …

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of combining one-lung ventilation and carbon dioxide
insufflation (OLV-CDI) on intrathoracic working space (determined by means of CT) during …

OBJECTIVE To evaluate use of single manual alveolar recruitment maneuvers (ARMs) to
eliminate atelectasis during CT of anesthetized foals. ANIMALS 6 neonatal Standardbred …
