The effect of romifidine on endoscopic grading of laryngeal function in horses

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To our knowledge, the effect of sedation with romifidine on the grading of laryngeal function in horses has not been studied. Our objective was to examine the effects of romifidine on the grading of laryngeal function and the cross‐sectional area of the rima glottis (CSARG). Methods Ten horses underwent three endoscopic examinations
