Mean ± SD values for venous hydrogen ion concentration (pH), carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2), oxygen partial pressure (pO2), bicarbonate ( ), base excess (BE), and haemoglobin oxygen saturation (O2 Sat) during intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) with peak inspiratory pressure of 4 cmH2O at 12 respirations per minute inhaling 3.0% isoflurane in 100% oxygen in 6 sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita galerita).
