Low vs high intensity heparin

• What if heparin PTT 200 is too low?

  Order repeat STAT PTT immediately. If repeat PTT < 200, resume heparin according to heparin algorithm. If repeat PTT > 200, follow steps below. STOP HEPARIN INFUSION. Order repeat STAT PTT hourly until PTT < 100. Then, resume infusion at DECREASED dose that is 4 units/kg/hr lower than previous dose and repeat PTT in 6 hours.

• Does heparin reduce venous thrombosis?

  Heparin in a fixed, low dose of 5000 U subcutaneously (SC) every 8 or 12 hours reduces the risk of venous thrombosis and fatal PE by 60% to 70% and is an effective and safe form of prophylaxis in medical and surgical patients at risk of VTE.

Heparin is a glycosaminoglycan which inhibits the mechanism that induces the clotting of blood and the formation of stable fibrin clots.

  Heparin is a glycosaminoglycan which inhibits the mechanism that induces the clotting of blood and the formation of stable fibrin clots. It combines with antithrombin III (AT III) and blocks thrombosis by inactivating activated factor X and ultimately inhibiting prothrombin’s (factor II) conversion to thrombin (activated factor II).
