The respiratory system’s function is to make use of the oxygen that is freely present in the air we breathe. The horse’s lungs and respiratory system depend on them to operate correctly, not only because of their size but also because of their vital functions. Indeed, the horse must have efficient respiratory capacity if it wishes to sustain the pace of its activity while adequately supplying its body with oxygen and eliminating carbon dioxide.
Interpretation bias in equine medicine
These cognitive biases can be detrimental to the practice of equine veterinary medicine, leading to diagnostic errors, incorrect patient management and problems in the owner-veterinarian relationship.
