Effect of frusemide on transvascular fluid fluxes across the lung in exercising horses
Abstract
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY: Frusemide (Fru) is widely prescribed for management of racehorses experiencing EIPH. The effect of Fru in the lung appears to be a reduction in transcapillary pressures and inhibition of the erythrocyte anion exchange, which may lead to attenuation of transpulmonary fluid fluxes during exercise.
HYPOTHESIS: Treatment with Fru will attenuate transpulmonary fluid fluxes in horses during high intensity exercise.
