Effect of packed red blood cell transfusion on thromboelastographic tracings in dogs with naturally occurring anemia.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicated that pRBC transfusion had only small effects on the TEG tracings of hemodynamically stable dogs. Therefore, large changes in TEG tracings following pRBC transfusion are unlikely to be the result of the transfusion and should be investigated further.
