The article offers information on the suspected presumptive venous air embolism in a gelding during cystoscopy and perineal urethrotomy. Topics include making judgement of over inflation during cystoscopy, increased pressure within the bladder where bladder lumen to systemic gas absorption is accelerated, and prolonged procedures warrant carbon dioxide or other similar gas inflation.
