The effects of pulse-delivered inhaled nitric oxide on arterial oxygenation, ventilation-perfusion distribution and plasma endothelin-1 concentration in laterally recumbent isoflurane-anaesthetized horses

Abstract

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance PiNO delivered in the initial portion of the inspiration effectively relieves hypoxaemia in anaesthetized horses by improving ((V) over dot(A)/(Q) over dot) matching and decreasing ((Q) over dots/(Q) over dott) without affecting ET-1.
