Introduction
The ratio of physiologic dead space to tidal volume (VD/VT) can be used to assess ventilation-perfusion mismatch during general anaesthesia. VD/VT calculation needs arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and mixed expired carbon dioxide (PĒCO2) measured by sampling gas from a mixing chamber. E-CAiOVX metabolic monitor (S/5, GE Healthcare) uses mathematical integration of flow and time-synchronized gas sampling for PĒCO2 determination. The aim of this study was to validate the S/5 metabolic monitor for determination of VD/VT in horses. […]

Every spring the European Veterinary Conference Voorjaarsdagen used to organize. Important goals of the Voorjaarsdagen Conference were to build friendships between veterinarians at a national and international level, to enhance the quality and availability of veterinary medicine and surgery, and to foster the exchange of scientific information among veterinarians.  The activities of the European Veterinary Conference have ceased with the last meeting in 2019.
