Abstract
SUMMARY: Studies in conscious and anaesthetised ponies demonstrated that starvation, anaesthesia and changes in body position influence the radiographic appearance of the lungs in the lateral and dorsoventral views. Radiographic appearances could not be closely correlated with blood gas values, but they suggested that the volume of the lowermost lung of the laterally recumbent animal is greatly reduced.RÉSUMÉ: Des études menées sur des poneys conscients et anesthésiés ont montré que le jeûne prolongé, l'anesthésie et les changements de position du corps influenĉaient l'aspect radiographique des poumons radiographiés en position dorso ventrale et latérale. On ne put établir que l'aspect radiographique dépendait précisément du taux de gaz dissous dans le sang. Néammoins, il semble que le volume du poumon inférieur lors de décubitus latéral soit diminué de faĉon importante.ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Untersuchungen an medikamentell nicht beeinflussten und an narkotisierten Ponies haben gezeigt, dass Hungern, Narkosen und Veränderungen in der Körperlage das röntgenologische Bild der Lungen bei lateralen und dorsoventralen Aufnahmen beeinflussen. Das röntgenologische Bild konnte nicht eng mit Blutgaswerten korreliert werden, aber es liess vermuten, dass das Volumen der untenliegenden Lungenteile bei Tieren in Seintenlage erheblich reduziert ist.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
