ABSTRACT
In the present study Hemostatic effects of Surgicel Snow and Surgicel Fibrillar in 12 cases in dogs were observed. The dogs were divided into three groups via group A, B and C with four dogs in each group. All three groups were anesthetized by the combination of xylazine (1.1mg/kg) and ketamine (5.5mg/kg) administered intravenous. Group A received Surgical Gauze, Surgicel Snow was employed in Group B and Surgicel Fibrillar was used in Group C. Hemostasis time, Liver function test (LFT), Complete blood count (CBC), Temperature, Pulse rate and Respiratory rate (TPR), Ultrasonography were evaluated. Hemostasis time was significantly less in animals who had received a Surgicel Snow compared to Surgicel Fibrillar and Surgical Gauze. LFT values were significantly different among all three groups. CBC values also differ among all groups. In TPR there were no significant differences in all groups. All groups showed no changes during Ultrasonography of liver. Surgicel Snow is better hemostat than Surgicel Fibrillar with minimum blood loss and least effects on liver function.
