摘要
人们对献血者的福利进行了广泛的研究,而对献血者狗的数据有限。这项多中心前瞻性研究旨在评估89只犬献血者的生理和行为反应。在献血前后测量临床参数(心率、呼吸频率、血压、直肠温度)和血清皮质醇水平,并进行主人报告的行为评估。结果显示,除了直肠温度在BD后显著升高(38.5°C(38.2-39.4°C)对38.6°C(37.6-41.7°C), p < 0.001)外,BD前/ BD后皮质醇浓度或大多数临床参数均无显著变化,提示可能是由于身体约束引起的短暂反应。在第一次和重复捐献者之间没有发现显著差异。在捐赠前阶段,主人报告了更高的兴奋迹象,表明预期是压力反应的关键。然而,超过80%的主人报告说,他们的狗在手术后和整个BD日表现正常。这些研究结果表明,犬类整体BD通常具有良好的耐受性,不太可能与全身生理应激相关。然而,增加对预期阶段的关注,以及仔细的温度监测,个性化约束技术和优化的环境管理,可能会进一步改善犬献血者的福利。
Insights into the Canine Blood Donor Experience: A Multicenter Study on Physiological and Behavioral Changes.
Blood donor welfare is extensively studied in humans, while limited data exist for blood donor dogs. This multicentric prospective study aimed to evaluate physiological and behavioral responses in 89 canine blood donors. Clinical parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, rectal temperature) and serum cortisol levels were measured before and after blood donation (BD), along with owner-reported behavioral assessments. Results showed no significant changes in cortisol concentrations pre-BD/post-BD or in most of the clinical parameters, except for rectal temperature that was significantly increased after BD [38.5 °C (38.2-39.4 °C) vs. 38.6 °C (37.6-41.7 °C), p < 0.001] suggesting a transient response likely due to physical restraint. No significant differences were found between first-time and repeat donors. Owners reported higher signs of arousal during the pre-donation phase, indicating anticipation as key to the stress response. However, more than 80% of the owners reported that their dogs behaved normally after the procedure and throughout the BD day. These findings suggest that canine whole BD is generally well tolerated and unlikely associated with systemic physiological stress. However, increased attention to the anticipatory phase, along with careful temperature monitoring, individualized restraint techniques, and optimized environmental management, may further improve canine blood donor welfare.
