FIGURE 1.
Effects of continuous positive airway pressure and pressure support ventilation protocols on respiratory rate (Rf), tidal volume (TVe), and minute ventilation (MVe) at T1, T2, and T3 compared with results from sedated foals in dorsal recumbency without ventilatory support (T0; *, P < .05; **, P < .01). Significant differences within different ventilation protocols are shown. Results at T‐1 and T0 are the mean result for each foal derived from both phases of the study. Results are shown as median, mean (+), quartiles (box), and range (whiskers), with all data points included.
