The evaluation of a haemoperfusion device in conscious dogs.
A newly designed charcoal haemoperfusion device was evaluated by repeated haemoperfusion of conscious dogs. The procedure was tolerated well and the incidence of side effects was low. Alterations to haematology were small with platelet drops of only 9% and only minor disturbances to plasma chemistry were seen.
