Monitoring unfractionated heparin therapy in dogs by measuring thrombin generation

Key Points

• This study aims to evaluate thrombin generation measurement in dogs to assess anticoagulation levels during unfractionated heparin therapy.
• Thrombin generation was measured in canine plasma samples.
• The study assesses the effectiveness of unfractionated heparin (UFH) therapy.
• Thrombin generation can be successfully measured in canine plasma.
• The findings suggest thrombin generation is useful for gauging anticoagulation levels.
