Experimental studies in the bronchial circulation. Which is the ideal animal model?

abstract：Background:Arterial desaturations experienced during endotracheal intubation (ETI) may lead to poor outcomes. Thus, our primary aim was to identify predictors of arterial desaturation (pulse oximetry <90%) during the peri-intubation period and to assess outcomes of those who developed arterial hypoxemia. Methods:Adult...
