Presentation Description / Summary: This session will review the ACVECC consensus guidelines (CURATIVE) for the use of antithrombotic and thrombolytics in small animals, including the 2022 updates to these consensus guidelines.
Learning Objectives:
Identify at-risk populations for thrombosis, and classify patients into high, and moderate/low risk categories for thrombosis based on the 2019 and 2022 CURATIVE guidelines.
Apply rational thromboprophylaxis strategies: Select appropriate antithrombotic agents and monitoring approaches based on patient risk, drug class, and available evidence, while balancing efficacy and safety.
Describe the current evidence and recommendations for the rational use of thrombolytics in dogs and cats, including indications, limitations, and safety considerations, and how these differ from antithrombotic therapy.
