There were statistically significant differences between all TEG values of hypo- and normo- and hyper-coagulable dogs. Thromboelastography correctly identified dogs with clinical signs of bleeding with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 89% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 98% based on G alone. In comparison, the coagulation profile had a PPV between 50-81% and a NPV between 92-93% for detection of bleeding, depending on the observer. In conclusion, a TF-activated TEG G value < 3.2K dyn/cm2 correctly identified dogs with clinical signs of bleeding with very high PPV and NPV, irrespective of observer. The findings strongly suggest that TF- activated TEG may be of value in the workup of dogs suspected of having a haemostatic disorder.
