Summary
At present there is no alternative to the use of a demand valve
and pressurised oxygen for emergency ventilation in large
animal field anaesthesia, therefore we aimed at providing a
proof-of-principle of a small (2.5 l) commercial foot pump to
provide emergency intermittent positive pressure ventilation
(IPPV) in large animals. The study was performed during
elective field anaesthesia for castration of 5 Haflinger stallions.
Horses were premedicated with acepromazine i.m. after
catheterisation of the jugular vein, further sedation was
obtained with detomidine and butorphanol i.v. Anaesthesia
was induced with ketamine and midazolam i.v. and
maintained with a constant rate infusion of midazolam,
ketamine and xylazine. After endotracheal intubation the foot
pump, modified with a manually operated expiratory valve,
was connected to the endotracheal tube and oxygen (6 l/min)
was supplied. Anaesthesia was monitored using spirometry,
respiratory gas analysis, pulse oximetry and arterial blood
gas analysis.
