Mean ± standard deviation Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor Vet (VCM Vet) variables from 2 devices (A and B) from 20 dogs undergoing anaesthesia and elective orthopaedic surgery. Study stages presented as BL = baseline, PM = 15 min following premedication, A = 60 min after inhalant initiation R = 60 min after inhalant termination in x-axis. Measurements units presented in y-axis. References range for each variable are illustrated as shaded area. Abbreviations: CT = clot time; CFT = clot formation time; Alpha = alpha-angle; A10 and A20 = amplitude at 10 and 20 min, respectively; MCF = maximum clot firmness; Li30 and Li45 = Lysis Index at 30 and 45 min, respectively. S = seconds, º = degrees, Units = VCM units, % = percentage. * CT decreasing an average of 25.5 s per time point and CFT decreasing an average of 6.9 s per time point (P < 0.001)
