Evaluation of the Effect of the Inspired Oxygen Fraction on Blood Oxygenation during Inhalant Anaesthesia in Horses: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.

In anaesthetized horses, pronounced ventilation/perfusion mismatching often occurs. Several authors have investigated the effect of lower inspired oxygen fractions (FiO) to reduce formation of absorption atelectasis. This systematic review compared the effects of low (<0.

Monitoring changes in distribution of pulmonary ventilation by functional electrical impedance tomography in anaesthetized ponies.

Objective: To assess changes in the distribution in pulmonary ventilation in anaesthetized ponies using electrical impedance tomography (EIT).

Study Design: Prospective experimental study.

Animals: A group of eight adult pony geldings.

Edible insects - defining knowledge gaps in biological and ethical considerations of entomophagy.

While seeking novel food sources to feed the increasing population of the globe, several alternatives have been discussed, including algae, fungi or meat. The increasingly propagated usage of farmed insects for human nutrition raises issues regarding food safety, consumer information and animal protection. In line with law, insects like any other animals must not be reared or manipulated in a way that inflicts unnecessary pain, distress or harm on them.

Impact of four different recumbencies on the distribution of ventilation in conscious or anaesthetized spontaneously breathing beagle dogs: An electrical impedance tomography study.

The aim was to examine the effects of recumbency and anaesthesia on distribution of ventilation in beagle dogs using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). Nine healthy beagle dogs, aging 3.7±1.
