Cover Story: Viscoelastic (VE) testing provides a more thorough assessment of coagulation than traditional testing; however, its use is limited by availability and preanalytical factors. A point-of-care (POC) device compatible with native whole blood (NWB) is available to veterinarians, but with limited use in horses. The use of NWB in VE provides the best representation but is limited in clinical settings as NWB requires immediate analysis. We compared VE results from the POC device in healthy and hospitalized horses using both NWB and citrated whole blood (CWB; 1 and 4 hours after collection), mimicking reasonable post-collection delay for CWB. Compared to NWB, and over time, differences existed in VE parameters for CWB, suggesting that use of CWB does not increase analytic flexibility in the horse. View this paper
