Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the use of Sidestream Dark Field (SDF) imaging to assess sublingual microcirculation in dogs, particularly before and after blood donation.
- - It found that SDF imaging was successful in 83% of sedated dogs, with a median blood donation of 14 mL/kg; blood collection increased heart rate and shock index while reducing lactate concentration post-donation.
- - Despite these changes, there were no significant effects on microcirculatory parameters, indicating that while SDF technology is feasible for use in dogs, further research with a larger sample size is needed to confirm the findings.
