Abstract
ABSTRACTThe EMO System was used to administer ether/air anaesthesia to dogs undergoing clinical surgical procedures. Anaesthesia with spontaneous breathing gave rise to normal oxygen tensions in arterial blood, a slight acidosis and a decrease in arterial carbon dioxide tension. When used with relaxant drugs and intermittent positive pressure ventilation of the lungs it was found that to maintain normal oxygen tensions in the arterial blood it was necessary to hyperventilate to low arterial carbon dioxide tensions. Ether/air anaesthesia with the EMO System was found to meet modern criteria for acceptability in general practice where the veterinary surgeon may be assisted in the operating theatre by a nurse or may be entirely alone.
