Comparison of biochemical and hematologic values obtained via jugular venipuncture and peripheral intravenous catheters in dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sampling from a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) might be a more efficient and less traumatic collection of blood for serum biochemistry (SB) or CBC than direct venipuncture (DV). Agreement between results of samples obtained by these methods has not been evaluated in dogs.

Objectives

The primary objectives were to determine whether sampling from PIVC could be used in place of DV for dogs. We hypothesized DV and PIVC samples would have clinically equivalent SB and CBC results.

Animals

Sixty-one client-owned dogs were included in each study arm.

Methods

This was a partially randomized method-comparison study. Paired DV and PIVC samples obtained within 1 to 2 minutes after, or approximately 24 hours after, placement of a PIVC in a cephalic vein w
