title: Distribution of cardiac output in anaesthetised horses.
abstract: The radioactive microsphere method was used to determine the distribution of cardiac output in six anaesthetised ponies. Simultaneous measurements of cardiac output allowed calculation of the tissue perfusions (ml/min/100 g). Allowing for the fact that measurements were carried out on animals under halothane anaesthesia and which had respiratory acidosis, the results were comparable with published values for other species.
