Equine Blood Pressure Measurements During Controlled Haemorrhage in Eleven Horses

Eleven horses were studied in an experiment comparing invasive and oscillometric blood pressure measurements. Under isoflurane anaesthesia, blood was removed and returned in 5 ml/kg increments up to 25 ml/kg, with paired measurements taken before and during the procedure. The raw data was published by Colleen Hickey on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate oscillometric blood pressure device accuracy in horses based on paired invasive measurements.
• Model blood pressure response to controlled haemorrhage based on incremental blood removal data.
• Compare measurement site reliability (metatarsal, facial, transverse facial arteries) during blood volume changes.
• Train algorithms for non-invasive blood pressure estimation based on the described experimental protocol.

Strengths

• Data from a controlled experiment with 11 subjects.
• Paired measurements from multiple arterial sites (MT, FA, TFA) and a non-invasive method.
• Clear experimental protocol with defined blood removal/return increments (5 ml/kg up to 25 ml/kg).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset size is listed as 0.0 B, indicating a very limited scope.
