heparin administration procedures differed in at least two ways In the older version the nurse accessed a computer menu of eight variations of the heparin protocol. Then depending on the patient’s gender indication for heparin and route of heparin administration the nurse selected one of these eight variations.
Unfractionated Heparin . Dose and Indications . Consult Haematology prior to use . Anticoagulation . Intravenous infusion . 75 units/kg loading dose over 10 minutes followed by 28 units/kg/hour continuous infusion . Adjust dose to achieve an aPTT activated partial thromboplastin time levels that corresponds to an anti factor Xa level of 0.35
When monitoring IV unfractionated heparin using the PTT collect blood below the infusion site or from the arm opposite the infusion site at least 4–6 hours after the bolus but not more than 24 hours after initiation.
heparin will be required prior to starting Dabigatran in cases of VTE or PE’ Dose changed from 5mgs to 5g Rivaroxaban 10mgs OD for thrombophlebitis Addition of ‘5 days of treatment dose low molecular weight heparin will be required prior to starting Dabigatran in cases of VTE or PE’ INR > changed to INR <1.8 Dosing Table of Dalteparin
The anti Xa assay is a more direct measure of plasma heparin concentrations and is reported in international units IU per mL. 12 Generally a plasma heparin concentration range of 0.3 to 0.7 IU/mL by anti Xa assay is considered to be a therapeutic range. 6 Recently the anti Xa assay has become more widely used in monitoring UFH because of

Take basel in e APTT ratio prior to commencing the infusion. 2. Give the patient a 5000 unit bolus 5ml of heparin 1000units/ml 3.
Jan 16 2016 In 1992 the ACCP VTE treatment guidelines suggested a 5000–10 000 unit bolus followed by a fixed heparin infusion of 1300 units/h 31 200 units/day and in 1995 and 2004 they endorsed either a fixed regimen or the Raschke weight based regimen 8–10 . For a 70 kg patient the Raschke regimen translates into a heparin bolus of 5600 units
UNFRACTIONATED HEPARIN Intravenous unfractionated heparin IV UFH was once the preferred initial treatment for acute PE because it was the only anticoagulant that had been compared to no treatment in a controlled trial and shown to reduce mortality due to PE 1 .
unfractionated heparin infusion 6 hours prior to the procedure assuming the aPTT is within the therapeutic range . If the aPTT is above the therapeutic range a longer delay may be required. Recommence intravenous unfractionated heparin infusion without bolus after two hours minimum if no evidence of bleeding or a bloody tap. References 1.
Limitations The test cannot distinguish between unfractionated and low molecular weight heparin. The correct assay must be requested for the type of heparin the patient is receiving or the results will be off by a factor of 2 to 3. The plasma cannot be treated for heparin removal.

Heparin free dialysis should be initiated after central venous catheter insertion. Minimal heparin should then be administrated see section 3.8 3.7 Protocol for administration of heparin by nurses during haemodialysis for patients with a low risk of bleeding Bolus injection dosage 30 50 iu/Kg Continuous infusion 800 1500 iu/HR EBPG 2002
Adult Heparin Drip Protocol 2. Obtain PTT 6 hours after initiation of Heparin and after any subsequent changes until therapeutic X 2 then every AM. 3. Monitor platelets. Consider discontinuing if platelets decrease by ≥ 30 from baseline and evaluate for HIT. Discontinue heparin if platelets decrease by 50 from baseline and proceed with HIT
Heparin therapy may then be discontinued without tapering see Drug Interactions 7.4 . 2.7 Converting to Oral Anticoagulants other than Warfarin . For patients currently receiving intravenous heparin stop intravenous infusion of heparin sodium immediately after administering the first dose of oral anticoagulant or for intermittent
May 07 2021 Patients received UFH infusion according to a weight based nomogram titrated by nursing staff. 35 Our institutional protocol for therapeutic intensity or full dose anticoagulation with UFH uses a goal activated partial thromboplastin time aPTT range of 60 to 80 seconds 1.5–2.0 baseline based on our laboratory criteria.
