Cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic responses to apnea induced by atlanto‐occipital intrathecal lidocaine injection in anesthetized horses

Conclusions and clinical relevanceApnea immediately exacerbated hypoxemia and hypercapnia and rapidly caused hemodynamic instability. Apnea in hypoxemic anesthetized horses is associated with a serious risk for progress to cardiovascular collapse.
