Description of Clinical Expertise
Viscoelastic testing in small animals with clinical hypercoagulability; role of erythrocytes in clot formation; performance of viscoelastic testing both in the setting of comorbidities common to the small animal ICU as well as in spontaneous disease; immunothrombosis in viral and bacterial pneumonia; the relevance of point-of-care rheological testing in assessing microvascular healthSelected Publications
