Evaluation of the validity of the double two-thirds rule for diagnosing hemangiosarcoma in dogs with nontraumatic hemoperitoneum due to a ruptured splenic mass: a systematic review

Ashley R. Schick et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the validity of the double two-thirds rule for diagnosing splenic hemangiosarcoma in dogs. The findings suggest that the rule underestimates the proportion of malignant lesions, including hemangiosarcoma. Further research with higher levels of evidence is needed to validate these findings.

Hemorrhagic shock and hemostatic resuscitation in canine trauma

Thomas H. Edwards et al.

Summary: Hemorrhage is a major cause of death in military working dogs and civilian trauma, leading to shock and tissue hypoxia, resulting in cellular metabolism abnormalities and blood failure. Hemostatic resuscitation with blood products is crucial in treating severe hemorrhagic shock in canine patients to improve mortality and morbidity. Further research is needed to determine the ideal resuscitation strategy in canine patients with hemorrhage-induced blood failure.
