🫁 FLAIR® Fact of the Month: Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage (EIPH)



As riders, we're always looking for ways to help our horses perform at their best, and that starts with understanding what happens inside their bodies during exercise.



Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage (EIPH) is a common condition in equine athletes across many disciplines. While it often goes unnoticed from the outside, the intense demands of exercise can place significant stress on the lungs, potentially impacting respiratory efficiency, recovery, and performance.



One tool that's been shown in clinical studies to reduce the severity of EIPH is FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips. By supporting the nasal passages during exercise, they reduce inspiratory airway resistance and make breathing more efficient when your horse needs it most.



Want to learn more about what EIPH is, how it's diagnosed, and the role FLAIR® Strips can play in a comprehensive respiratory management plan? Visit the FLAIR® website to explore the full EIPH education hub: 🔗 https://flairstrips.com/pages/eiph

EIPH Learn about Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH) in horses. Discover how FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips are clinically proven to reduce EIPH risk.

🫁 Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Haemorrhage (EIPH) is not a new condition. It was first recognised centuries ago in Thoroughbred racing, and today it’s seen across a wide range of equine sports, from racing to dressage, eventing, and endurance.

It occurs because of the extraordinary demands placed on the equine body during intense exercise: a powerful cardiovascular system driving massive blood flow, paired with lungs and airway structures that are pushed to their physiological limits.

As heart rate rises and oxygen demand increases, blood pressure within the lungs climbs dramatically and inhalation forces create strong external pressures. This push and pull pressure is exerted on the delicate pulmonary capillary membrane (PCM). The PCM is the fragile structure that is responsible for the efficient gas exchange that occurs during exercise and makes horses super athletes.

This combination of forces on the PCM leads to rupture within the lungs resulting in EIPH. Repeated episodes may contribute to cumulative changes in lung tissue, reduced efficiency, and early fatigue in athletic horses.

EIPH reflects the extreme athletic design of the horse, and the fine balance between power, speed, and respiratory limitation.
