The objective was to document the use of spirometry and ventilation settings in small animal anaesthesia and intensive care through a descriptive, open, online, anonymous survey. The survey was advertised on social media and via email. Participation was voluntary. The google forms platform was used. It consisted of eight sections in English: demographic information, use of spirometry in spontaneously ventilating/mechanically ventilated dogs, need for spirometry, equipment available and calibration status, ventilation modes, spirometry displays, compliance (C) and resistance (R) of the respiratory system. Simple descriptive analyses were applied. There were 128 respondents. Respondents used spirometry more in ventilated dogs than during spontaneous breathing. Over 3/4 of the respondents considered spirometry essential in "selected" (43%) or "most" cases (33%). Multiple devices and technologies were used. The majority of the respondents were not directly involved in or informed about the calibration of their equipment. Of all displays, pressure-volume loops were the most common. Values of C and R were specifically monitored in more than 50% of cases by 44% of the respondents only. A variety of ventilation modes was used. Intensivists tend to use smaller VT than anaesthetists. More information on reference intervals of C and R and technical background on spirometers is required.
目的是通过一项描述性、开放性、在线、匿名调查，记录小动物麻醉和重症监护中肺活量测定法及通气设置的使用情况。该调查在社交媒体和通过电子邮件进行宣传。参与是自愿的。使用了谷歌表单平台。它由英文的八个部分组成：人口统计学信息、肺活量测定法在自主呼吸/机械通气犬中的使用、对肺活量测定法的需求、可用设备及校准状态、通气模式、肺活量测定法显示、呼吸系统的顺应性（C）和阻力（R）。应用了简单的描述性分析。有128名受访者。受访者在通气犬中比在自主呼吸时更多地使用肺活量测定法。超过四分之三的受访者认为肺活量测定法在“部分”（43%）或“大多数”（33%）情况下至关重要。使用了多种设备和技术。大多数受访者没有直接参与其设备的校准或了解相关情况。在所有显示中，压力 - 容积环最为常见。只有44%的受访者在超过50%的情况下专门监测了C和R的值。使用了多种通气模式。重症监护医生倾向于使用比麻醉医生更小的潮气量。需要更多关于C和R的参考区间以及肺活量测定仪技术背景的信息。
