    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary function testing in horses is an emerging field.
    • Tests requiring significant animal cooperation are not feasible.
    • Current limitations exist in the range and applicability of available tests.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the current state and future potential of pulmonary function tests in horses.
    • To identify practical applications for field conditions versus specialized clinics.
    • To guide the selection of cost-effective diagnostic procedures for equine respiratory disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing pulmonary function tests applicable to horses.
    • Assessment of test feasibility under field and clinical settings.
    • Consideration of equipment costs and technical requirements.

    Main Results:

    • Certain tests, including blood gas analysis, alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (A-aDo2), and pleural pressure (delta Ppl) measurements, are suitable for field use.
    • Advanced tests requiring expensive equipment are currently restricted to referral centers.
    • Further data is needed to establish a favorable cost-benefit ratio for widespread adoption of complex procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Pulmonary function testing in horses has practical applications, particularly field-based methods like blood gas analysis.
    • Wider implementation of advanced tests depends on technological advancements and economic viability.
    • Future research should focus on optimizing test selection for diverse veterinary settings.
