Abstract

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance Delivery of iNO to healthy horses during anaesthesia results in better arterial and venous oxygenation and V/Q matching (as determined by lower (Q) over dots/(Q) over dott) and lower ET-1 concentrations throughout a 30-minute anaesthetic recovery period.
