Practical relevance: Many veterinary practices have invested in quality automated hematology instruments for use in-house. However, regardless of the specific choice of analyzer, there are important hematology findings that can only be determined by microscopic examination of stained blood films. For this reason, and also for the purpose of quality control for the analyzer, a quick blood film review should be performed alongside every automated complete blood count. Even those practices that submit their blood samples to outside diagnostic laboratories for evaluation, still require the capability to examine stained blood films in emergency situations. Series outline: This is the first of a two-part article series that aims to familiarize the practitioner with normal findings on feline blood films, with a particular focus on unique features in the cat, as well as to assist with interpretation of common abnormalities. Part 1 focuses on how to prepare and examine blood films in order to maximize the reliability of the information they convey, and describes the morphology of feline erythrocytes in health and disease. Evidence base: The information and guidance offered is based on the published literature and the author's own extensive clinical pathology research.
许多兽医诊所都购置了优质的自动化血液学检测仪器供内部使用。然而，无论分析仪的具体选择如何，都有一些重要的血液学检查结果只能通过对染色血涂片进行显微镜检查来确定。因此，出于这个原因，同时也是为了对分析仪进行质量控制，每次自动全血细胞计数都应同时进行快速血涂片检查。即使是那些将血液样本送到外部诊断实验室进行评估的诊所，在紧急情况下仍需要具备检查染色血涂片的能力。系列概述：这是一篇分为两部分的系列文章中的第一篇，旨在让从业者熟悉猫血涂片的正常检查结果，特别关注猫的独特特征，并协助解读常见异常情况。第1部分重点介绍如何制备和检查血涂片，以最大限度地提高其传达信息的可靠性，并描述健康和患病猫红细胞的形态。证据基础：所提供的信息和指导基于已发表的文献以及作者自己广泛的临床病理学研究。
