Comparison of respiratory function during TIVA (romifidine, ketamine, midazolam) and isoflurane anaesthesia in spontaneously breathing ponies Part I: blood gas analysis and cardiorespiratory variables

Comparison of respiratory function during TIVA and isoflurane anaesthesia in ponies Part II: breathing patterns and transdiaphragmatic pressure

“…As stated by Steblaj et al. (), it is unlikely that a significantly different plane of anaesthesia existed in this study. Furthermore, different ketamine‐based TIVA protocols are used in ponies and horses with various drugs and doses.…”

“…Preparation of the ponies, details of induction and maintenance of anaesthesia, plus instrumentation to measure cardiorespiratory parameters are reported in the companion paper (Steblaj et al. ). Anaesthesia was maintained either with isoflurane (FE′Iso = 1.1%) (Isoflurane, UK) (T‐ISO) or with IV romifidine (120 μg kg −1 per hour), midazolam (0.09 mg kg −1 per hour) and ketamine (3.3 mg kg −1 per hour) in total intravenous anaesthesia (T‐TIVA).…”

“…Cardiovascular and respiratory parameters were recorded every 5 minutes, while arterial blood gases were taken for analysis every 10 minutes (such sampling being before the Mueller's manoeuvre) (Steblaj et al. ).…”

“…The results of the comparison of cardiorespiratory variables are reported separately (Steblaj et al. ).…”

Erratum

“…In the publication “Comparison of respiratory function during TIVA (romifidine, ketamine, midazolam) and isoflurane anaesthesia in spontaneously breathing ponies Part I: blood gas analysis and cardiorespiratory variables.” by Steblaj B, Schauvliege S, Pavlidou K, Gasthuys F, Savvas I, Duchateau L, Kowalczk L, and Moens Y, the last name “Kowalczk” was reported incorrectly (Steblaj et al. ). The correct name should have been Kowalczyk L. This has no influence on the results of the meta‐analysis.…”
