  Systemic changes of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), neutrophil elastase (ELT) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) during mechanical ventilation (MV) in horses anaesthetized for surgery are evaluated. Thirty-four client-owned ASA I-II horses randomly received mechanical ventilation (MV) with either a peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of 30 cm H2O and tidal volume (VT)>10 mL kg-1 (high pressure-volume MV) or PIP of 15 cm H2O and VT ≤ 10 mL kg-1 (low pressure-volume MV) in dorsal or lateral recumbency. Horses were premedicated with acepromazine (0.1 mg kg-1 IM) and xylazine (0.6 mg kg-1 IV), induced with midazolam (0.06 mg kg-1 IV) and ketamine (2.2 mg kg-1 IV) and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen 70% plus ketamine-midazolam infusion (1 and 0.02 mg kg-1 h-1, respectively). Anti-inflammatory drug and antibiotics were administered before surgery. Plasmatic pr.. View More»
