Observations were made on horses spontaneously breathing oxygen, with halothane at a constant end tidal concentration. The horses were positioned in dorsal recumbency for the first 45 minutes of each anaesthetic episode during which the arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) was found to peak and then decline. The remaining 60 minutes of each anaesthesia was used to test the effect of various manoeuvres on PaO2. The PaO2 of horses decreased further both when remaining in dorsal recumbency and when repositioned in right or left recumbency. In contrast, placing the horses in sternal recumbency for these remaining 60 minutes caused the PaO2 to rise rapidly providing evidence for redistribution of ventilation. Replacing some inspired oxygen with less absorbable nitrogen did not improve PaO2 in dorsal recumbency. Thus there was no evidence that the low PaO2 of dorsal recumbency was associated with alveoli that had collapsed because of gas absorption.
