Anaesthesia-induced atelectasis in a rat model (Rattus norvegicus)
In conclusion, anaesthesia-induced atelectasis can lead to marked ultrasonographic changes in gravity-dependent areas in a rat model anaesthetised with isoflurane. The modified version of Oricco's LUSS showed significant interobserver agreement, indicating its potential reliability for thoracic ultrasound examinations in laboratory and pet rats.
