Cardiorespiratory effects of variable pressure thoracic insufflation in cats undergoing video ‐assisted thoracic surgery

ConclusionCO2 insufflation to 5  mm Hg seems well tolerated in healthy cats, provided ventilatory settings are substantially increased as ITP increases.Clinical significanceThoracic CO2 insufflation of 3  mm Hg in cats during video‐assisted thoracic surgery is associated with less hemodynamic perturbation than 5 mm Hg insufflation and may provide the benefit of improved working space compared with baseline.
