To characterize halothane and sevoflurane anesthesia in spontaneously breathing rats. ⋯ An increase in PaCO2 and a decrease in MAP are clinical indicators of an increasing halothane and sevoflurane dose in unstimulated spontaneously breathing rats. Increases in eyelid aperture and pupil diameter are reliable signs of increasing depth of halothane and sevoflurane anesthesia. Decreasing respiratory rate is a clinical indicator of an increasing dose of halothane.

Effect of one-lung ventilation on oxygen delivery in anesthetized dogs with an open thoracic cavity.
To evaluate effects of one-lung ventilation on oxygen delivery in anesthetized dogs with an open thoracic cavity. ⋯ One-lung ventilation affected gas exchange and hemodynamic function, although oxygen delivery in clinically normal dogs was not affected during a period with an open thoracic cavity. One-lung ventilation can be used safely in healthy dogs with an open thoracic cavity during surgery.
