CURRENT CONCEPTS IN THE ENDOSCOPIC EVALUATION OF THE UPPER AIRWAY It is understood by most that even an excellent
video may not be satisfactory to all that would view them due to multiple issues. Some veterinarians may not be satisfied with the length of the exam or timeliness of the procedure related to the actual time of the sale. There also may be concerns by some examining veterinarians that sales conditions do not adequately protect the buyer from a changing airway due to conditions of inflammation from the time of the initial exam to the time of the actual sale of the horse. But a well-produced video that is rep- resentative of the horse at the time the exam is performed will likely reduce the number of exami- nations needing to be performed on the individual sale horse.
