Characterization of dynamic compliance of the respiratory system in healthy anesthetized dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In clinical practice, evaluating dynamic compliance of the respiratory system (C_dyn) could provide valuable insights into respiratory mechanics. Reference values of C_dyn based on body weight have been reported, but various factors may affect them and the evidence is scanty. This study aimed to establish a reference interval for C_dyn and identify associated variables.

Methods

Data were collected from 515 client-owned dogs requiring anesthesia, excluding those with lower airway disease. The dogs were anesthetized, the tracheas intubated, and lungs ventilated at clinicians' discretion across 11 centers in six countries, with no restrictions on anesthesia protocols or ventilation settings, except avoiding inspiratory pauses.
