Microparticle-associated tissue factor activity in dogs with disseminated intravascular coagulation
2020 JV MEd Sci Kobayashi

A

MP-TF activity positively correlated with plasma D-dimer concentration (r=0.42, P=0.034). Moreover, MP-TF activity was decreased by the time of recovery in some dogs with DIC.

A genetic polymorphism in P2RY1 impacts response to clopidogrel in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
seminal list
2021

A

The association with the P2RY1:A236G variant and clopidogrel resistance remained significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons.

This study demonstrated that a genetic polymorphism in the P2RY1 gene altered response to clopidogrel therapy and suggests that clinicians may consider alternative or additional thromboprophylactic therapy in cats with the P2RY1:A236G variant.

Q

The role of cryoprecipitate in human and canine transfusion medicine
Review JVECC 2021

A

Low fibrinogen in dogs (as in people) has been documented with acute traumatic coagulopathy, advanced liver disease, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Bleeding secondary to these hypocoagulable states may be amenable to cryoprecipitate therapy. Indications for preferential selection of cryoprecipitate (versus fresh frozen plasma) remain to be determined.

A

Xenotransfusion of canine packed red blood cells to cats is possible but haemolysis should be expected between 1 and 6 days after transfusion.

Q

Quantitative assessment of infusion pump-mediated haemolysis in feline packed red blood cell transfusions JFMS 2021 Blasi-Bruge

A

use of two common Peristaltic infusion Pumps in veterinary hospitals does not produce levels of haemolysis that are significantly different than that caused by gravity alone during transfusion of feline pRBCs at a rate of 25 ml/h.

The effect of time on packed cell volume following packed red blood cell transfusion in anemic dogs 2021 JVEC Morris

A

Q

Indications for use and complications associated with canine plasma products in 170 patients Santo-Domingo JVECC 2021

A

Reactions were noted in 4%
Administration of canine plasma products appears to be a safe procedure that carries a low risk of transfusion reactions.
Type-matching of canine PP appears unnecessary and does not reduce the incidence of TR in dogs.

Reasons for transfusion: Oncotic support, sepsis, coagulopathy, internal bleeding, trauma, GDV, mucosal bleeding

Q

Prospective evaluation of the utility of cross-matching prior to first transfusion in cats: 101 cases JSAP 2020
Humm and Chan

A

Transfusion reactions were fairly common but not associated with increased mortality. Use of crossmatch-compatible blood did not lead to a greater increase in PCV at 12 hours. The commercial test may predict a haemolytic transfusion reaction.

Exploration of risk factors for non-survival and for transfusion-associated complications in cats receiving red cell transfusions: 450 cases (2009 to 2017) JSAP 2020Martinez-Soagues

A

exploratory observational study
Suggest that major cross-match before transfusion tended to have greater transfusion efficacy and transfusion of older blood products might have detrimental effects on survival.

Q

In vitro iatrogenic hemolysis of canine packed red blood cells during various rapid transfusion techniques JVECC 2021

A

Despite a storage time of ≤14 days, 15% of pRBC units had unsuitable (>0.8%) hemolysis before even being subjected to the trials.

rapid infusion techniques in small animal transfusion medicine do not cause significant iatrogenic hemolysis of canine pRBCs in vitro, although a significant risk is present in stored blood.

Retrospective analysis of the use of tranexamic acid in critically ill dogs and cats (2018–2019): 266 dogs and 28 cats
Kelley 2022 JVECC

A

Neoplasia” ([most frequently] hemangiosarcoma) (89/226 [39%]) and “diseases of the blood and blood forming organs” (idiopathic hemoabdomen, pericardial effusion) (78/226 [34%]) were the most common disease processes for which dogs received TXA. In cats, “diseases of the blood and blood forming organs” (idiopathic hemoabdomen) (9/28 [32%]), “neoplasia” (hemangiosarcoma, mast cell tumor, carcinoma) (7/28 [25%]), and “injury, poisoning, or certain other consequences of external causes” (high-rise syndrome) (5/28 [17%]) were most common. One hundred and forty-eight dogs (65%) and 13 cats (46%) underwent an invasive procedure during hospitalization. Thirty percent (70/226) of dogs received a packed RBC (pRBC) transfusion. Administration of TXA before or after pRBC transfusion did not significantly affect median dose of pRBC administered (P = 0.808). The median IV dose of TXA was similar for dogs and cats at 10 mg/kg. One cat received a 10 times overdose of TXA and did not suffer any appre- ciable adverse effects. Adverse events were reported in 1.7% (4/226) of dogs including hypersalivation (3/226) and seizure (1/226) in a dog that received a cumulative dose of 280 mg/kg of TXA. Hypersalivation was the only adverse event reported in 3% (1/28) of cats.
