Elevated pulmonary parenchymal evacuation, dog

Dachshund with a ruptured chordae and in fulminant congestive heart failure undergoing elevated pulmonary parenchymal evaluation (EPPE) to help drain large amounts of fluid from the respiratory tract. The patient was intubated and then inverted between periods of positive pressure ventilation, while steady pressure was applied to the chest to evacuate fluid.
