Alveolar and Airway Components of the Tidal Volume in Mechanically Ventilated Dogs: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study
VTalv was the main determinant of VT variability among anesthetized dogs, and the brachycephalic breeds studied exhibited smaller VDaw but similar VTalv compared with non-brachycephalic breeds. These findings highlight the importance of considering VTalv and breed-specific airway anatomy when individualizing ventilatory settings.
