  • Title: The effect of lateral and dorsal recumbency on cardiopulmonary function in the anaesthetised horse.
    Author: Stegmann GF, Littlejohn A.
    Journal: J S Afr Vet Assoc; 1987 Mar; 58(1):21-7. PubMed ID: 3112395.
    Abstract:
    The effect of lateral and dorsal recumbency on cardiopulmonary function in six anaesthetised horses were compared. Cardiac output/kg, stroke volume/kg, alveolar ventilation, venous admixture, pulmonary shunt and blood-gas values were determined. From lateral to dorsal recumbency cardiac output/kg decreased non-significantly. A significant increase in pulmonary shunt occurred. A positive correlation between body mass and pulmonary shunt in dorsal recumbency was found. Alveolar ventilation increased significantly in dorsal recumbency when breathing air compared to oxygen.
