Efficacy of a portable oxygen concentrator with pulsed delivery for treatment of hypoxemia during equine field anesthesia

ConclusionsThese data show that a pulsed‐flow delivery of oxygen can increase PaO2 in dorsally recumbent horses during field anesthesia with ketamine‐xylazine‐guaifenesin.
Clinical relevanceThe portable oxygen concentrator may help combat hypoxemia during field anesthesia in horses.
