4. Figure 3
Ventilation‐perfusion distribution in three horses (Study 2). The ventilation‐perfusion distribution ( V ˙ A/ Q ˙ ) presented as a log scale and the ventilation and perfusion in L minute−1 as open and closed circles, respectively. Development of a large right to left vascular shunt ( V ˙ A/ Q ˙ = 0) and an increased distribution of ventilation‐perfusion were evident during isoflurane anaesthesia (Base line, left panels). Pulsed inhalation of nitric oxide (PiNO) during the first 30% or 60% of the breath are presented as PiNO30% (middle panels) and PiNO60% (right panels). PiNO30% resulted in a clear reduction of the shunt but no further improvement occurred at PiNO60%. See Table 1 for corresponding data.
