Article Synopsis
- - Pulmonary atelectasis is a common issue during anesthesia, and mechanical ventilation along with alveolar recruitment maneuvers (ARMs) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can help improve lung function, despite the risk of lung injuries like volutrauma and barotrauma.
- - The study aimed to assess how lung volume distribution changes with different levels of PEEP during ARMs in 12 anesthetized dogs, using CT scans for detailed monitoring.
- - Results showed that ARMs significantly improved lung ventilation and static compliance, especially at specific PEEP levels (10 and 5 cmHO), while also affecting cardiovascular measures like heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure.
Educational technologies in veterinary medicine aim to train veterinarians faster and improve clinical outcomes. COVID-19 pandemic, shifted face-to-face teaching to online, thus, the need to provide effective education remotely was exacerbated. Among recent technology advances for veterinary medical education, extended reality (XR) is a promising teaching tool.
