Table 2 Median (IQR) heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (fR), body temperature (BT), end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PE’CO2), peripheral capillary oxygen haemoglobin saturation (SpO2), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pack cell volume (PCV), total solids (TS), manual platelet counts (PLT) and fluid volume of 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

From: Point-of-care viscoelastic coagulation assessment in healthy dogs during the perianesthetic period
