    ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that hypercapnic hyperpnea produced using endotracheal insufflation with 5-10% CO(2) in oxygen could be used to shorten anesthetic recovery time in horses, and that recovery from sevoflurane would be faster than from isoflurane.Study DesignRandomized crossover study design.AnimalsEight healthy adult horses.MethodsAfter 2 hours' administration of constant 1.2 times MAC isoflurane or sevoflurane, horses were disconnected from the anesthetic circuit and administered 0, 5, or 10% CO(2) in balance O(2) via endotracheal tube insufflation. End-tidal gas samples were collected to measure anesthetic washout kinetics, and arterial and venous blood samples were collected to measure respiratory gas partial pressures. Horses recovered in padded stalls without assistance, and each recovery was videotaped and evaluated by reviewers who were blinded to the anesthetic agent and insufflation treatment used.ResultsCompared to isoflurane, sevoflurane caused greater hypoventilation and was associated with longer times until standing recovery. CO(2) insufflation significantly decreased anesthetic recovery time compared to insufflation with O(2) alone without significantly increasing PaCO(2) . Pharmacokinetic parameters during recovery from isoflurane with CO(2) insufflation were statistically indistinguishable from sevoflurane recovery without CO(2). Neither anesthetic agent nor insufflation treatment affected recovery quality from anesthesia.Conclusions And Clinical RelevanceHypercapnic hyperpnea decreases time to standing without influencing anesthetic recovery quality. Although the lower blood gas solubility of sevoflurane should favor a shorter recovery time compared to isoflurane, this advantage is negated by the greater respiratory depression from sevoflurane in horses.© 2012 The Authors.
