OBJECTIVE To determine if pressure support ventilation (PSV) weaning from general anesthesia affects ventilation or oxygenation in horses. METHODS Prospective randomized clinical study. METHODS Twenty client-owned healthy horses aged 5 ± 2 years, weighing 456 ± 90 kg. METHODS In the control group (CG; n = 10) weaning was performed by a gradual decrease in respiratory rate (fR ) and in the PSV group (PSVG; n = 10) by a gradual decrease in fR with PSV. The effect of weaning was considered suboptimal if PaCO2 > 50 mmHg, arterial pH < 7.35 plus PaCO2 > 50 mmHg or PaO2 < 60 mmHg were observed at any time after disconnection from the ventilator until 30 minutes after the horse stood. Threshold values for each index were established and the predictive power of these values was tested. RESULTS Pressure support ventilation group (PSVG) had (mean ± SD) pH 7.36 ± 0.02 and PaCO2 41 ± 3 mmHg at weaning and the average lowest PaO2 69 ± 6 mmHg was observed 15 minutes post weaning. The CG had pH 7.32 ± 0.02 and PaCO2 57 ± 6 mmHg at weaning and the average lowest PaO2 48 ± 5 mmHg at 15 minutes post weaning. No accuracy in predicting weaning effect was observed for fR (p = 0.3474), minute volume (p = 0.1153), SaO2 (p = 0.1737) and PaO2 /PAO2 (p = 0.1529). A high accuracy in predicting an optimal effect of weaning was observed for VT > 10 L (p = 0.0001), fR /VT ratio ≤ 0.60 breaths minute(-1) L(-1) (p = 0.0001), VT /bodyweight > 18.5 mL kg(-1) (p = 0.0001) and PaO2 /FiO2 > 298 (p = 0.0002) at weaning. A high accuracy in predicting a suboptimal effect of weaning was observed for VT < 10 L (p = 0.0001), fR /VT ratio ≥ 0.60 breaths minute(-1) L(-1) (p = 0.0001) and Pe'CO2 ≥ 38 mmHg (p = 0.0001) at weaning. CONCLUSIONS Pressure support ventilation (PSV) weaning had a better respiratory outcome. A higher VT , VT /body weight, PaO2 /FiO2 ratio and a lower fR /VT ratio and Pe'CO2 were accurate in predicting the effect of weaning in healthy horses recovering from general anesthesia.

D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D012119 Respiration The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration ( Breathing
D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).
