Intravenous Bolus Fluid Therapy Versus No Fluid Therapy Prior to Pericardiocentesis in Dogs: A Randomized Controlled Trial in 30 Dogs
Administering an IVFB of 10 mL/kg isotonic crystalloid before pericardiocentesis in dogs with pericardial effusion did not alter SI. This dose appears to be safe, with no adverse respiratory effects seen. However, the current study was underpowered to detect a significant difference, and further studies are needed.
