Summary: In veterinary medicine, coagulation testing is imperative in the critically ill patient. Hypocoagulability is often easily measured with prothrombin (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and platelet count, while hypercoagulability is more difficult to measure with point-of-care testing (typically requiring a thromboelastography (TEG) machine). In this veterinary podcast, we review a recent study out of UGA assessing the Sonoclot in comparison to the TEG. Before you rush out and buy one, check out this podcast first! Questions?
