Abstract Objective To document clinical complications and intervention options associated with norepinephrine (NE) extravasation in dogs cats. Design Cases were identified between 2015 2021. Because this is an uncommon complication, the findings are compiled as a descriptive retrospective study. Setting provided from 4 universities 2 private practice groups United States, Canada, Australia. Animals Fourteen patients (13 dogs, 1 cat) that experienced events (16 total). Interventions Small...
Viscoelastic testing evaluates the formation and lysis of a clot over time, allowing more complete assessment patient hemostasis in real whereas traditional tests, such as prothrombin time partial thromboplastin only measure coagulation factor function. Patient-side viscoelastic monitors are easy to use, portable, provide faster turnaround than commercial laboratories. requires 0.2 mL blood is useful diagnosing treating hemostatic disorders. Currently, there no standardized method across...
To determine mortality rates for dogs with severe anaphylaxis and identify potential prognostic factors.67 suspected graded as severe.Dogs were classified on the basis of outcome survivors nonsurvivors. Medical records reviewed, data extracted including signalment, examination findings, time to hospital admission from onset clinical signs, CBC results, serum biochemical analysis coagulation testing findings abdominal ultrasonography. Initial treatment within first 6 hours after was recorded...
Abstract A 2‐year‐old spayed female Siberian Husky was presented with a history of acute onset lethargy, collapse, haematochezia and vomiting. The patient severely tachycardic hypotensive. Point‐of‐care ultrasound revealed gallbladder wall thickening peritoneal effusion consistent haemorrhage on subsequent abdominocentesis. Despite attempted medical stabilization over the course several hours, including blood products multiple autotransfusions, progressed to cardiopulmonary arrest. dog...
A new, portable bedside coagulation monitor (VCM Vet) has provided a user-friendly, cartridge-based method to perform viscoelastic testing. However, the use of native whole blood limits time analyze sample minutes. The objective this study is assess whether citrated can be utilized with system and results are comparable those blood. secondary viability after up 4 hours resting.The population consisted 10 healthy mixed breed dogs. Whole samples were collected via jugular venipuncture. Blood...
A 3-year-old female spayed rat terrier presented for hyperactivity and repetitive circling to the right of less than one-hour duration. On examination, patient was dehydrated, hyperactive, dysphoric. Laboratory tests initially revealed elevations in creatine kinase (CK) aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Serial chemistries indicated significant progression CK elevation a maximum 181,900 U/L on day 3 along with development profuse myoglobinuria. urine drug screening test positive amphetamine...
In order to determine if the Chinese herbal medicine, modified Da Huo Luo Dan (mDHLD), causes adverse clinical effects on serum biochemical parameters and complete blood counts (CBC), a controlled randomized study was conducted. Ten healthy, intact female, middle-aged, beagle mixed breed dogs were randomly divided into placebo control (CG) (n = 5) mDHLD (SG) groups. A 4-week washout period followed by 9-day drug acclimation period, then or trial completed. Placebo capsule dosed at 0.5 g (1...
To describe hemostatic derangements associated with canine anaphylaxis and to assess for association syndrome severity.Prospective observational study.University teaching hospital.Twenty-seven client-owned dogs, recruited from November 2018 January 2022, diagnosed of varying severity were included. Study inclusion required presentation <6 hours after initiation clinical signs, no medications or history illness within the prior 2 weeks, lack comorbidities expected affect hemostasis, a disease...
Subcutaneous fluid administration is a commonly used therapy in veterinary practice. Its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated human clinical studies, but only rarely discussed the literature. This prospective observational study was performed to evaluate changes during 24 h period serum biochemistries associated with of lactated Ringer's solution subcutaneously healthy cats. Lactated administered once ten healthy, euvolemic cats at dose 22 mL kg-1. Blood biochemistry analytes were...
Kentucky (KY) has the Second highest rate of Hepatitis C (HCV) infections among pregnant women in USA, largely due to IV drug use. HCV screening is recommended children born those women. HCV-exposed infants are also at risk for HIV and syphilis as well neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). A substantial portion insured by Medicaid. The patterns testing this population unknown. We sought assess pattern other perinatal KY Medicaid identified (ICD-10-CM code Z20.5) from 10/1/15 9/30/16. primary...
Manufacturers of point-of-care (POC) analyzers recommend immediate processing and anaerobic collection blood samples. However, it is not uncommon for clinical scenarios to result in delayed sample or room air exposure that could impact the test results.To investigate effect time delay storage method on key POC analytes canine venous samples processed with an Element analyzer.Blood gas analysis was performed at times 0 (T0), 15, 30, 60 minutes after sampling using three different methods:...
