Imagine putting a giant dog on the same non-rebreather circuit as a tiny one. A listener’s clinic does exactly that for every patient, and the Veterinary Roundtable hosts break down why it’s a safety problem, from CO2 rebreathing to flow rates, and how to push back on “it doesn’t make a difference.”
