color-coded, prefilled, and graduated and non-graduated syringes. Rounding the dose to a convenient syringe size may be considered. Doses available in graduated syringes should be rounded only to the nearest 0.1 mL. See Table 4-4 for commercially available syringe and vial sizes.
When rounding to the nearest syringe size, clinically significant changes in dose can occur when rounding in low-weight individuals (<50 kg). For
example, rounding down to a 40 mg syringe of
enoxaparin in a 45 kg patient
represents an 11% dose reduction as compared to rounding down to an 80 mg syringe in an 85 kg patient, which represents only a 6% dose reduction.
Administration
•
For subcutaneous administration, patients may self-inject only if their physicians determine that it is appropriate and with medical follow-up, as necessary. Proper training in subcutaneous injection technique should be provided (see Patient Education section).
•
Subcutaneous administration should be alternated between the left and right anterolateral and left and right posterolateral abdominal wall.
•
For intravenous enoxaparin injection, the multiple-dose vial should be used. When administered intravenously, enoxaparin should not be mixed or co-admin istered with other medications.

COMMON SIDE EFFECTS, PRECAUTIONS, AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
The most common side effect associated with LMWH and fondaparinux is minor and major bleeding. Minor bleeding events, such as ecchymosis and epistaxis, occur more frequently than major bleeds such as hematuria, hematomas, and hemorrhages. Major bleeding event rates are dependent on the medical indication and intensity of anticoagulation. UFH is associ­ated with major bleeding rates of 5–10% when used for the prophylaxis or treatment of venous thromboembolism. Comparatively, major bleeding rates are 2–4% with enoxaparin and fondaparinux. Management of bleeding may include temporary discontinuation of the medication to reversal with protamine and clotting factor concentrates. Non-bleeding adverse effects occur infrequently, including thrombocytopenia and hyperkalemia. Table 4-5 summarizes and compares the possible contraindications and side effects of the LMWHs and fondaparinux.

Guiding-catheter thrombosis has occurred when fondaparinux was used as the sole anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); therefore, an adjunct anticoagulant with antithrombin activity (e.g., UFH) is recommended during PCI. It must take into account whether glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists have been administered. Use of fondaparinux during primary PCI is not recommended.

Thrombocytopenia
•
Cases of LMWH-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (similar to heparin­induced thrombocytopenia [HIT]) have been observed. Use is not recommended in patients with current HIT due to high cross-reactivity to heparin-platelet factor-4 antibody. Avoid in patients with history of HIT, especially if administered within 100 days of HIT episode because heparin-platelet factor-4 antibodies may still be present.
•
Rare cases of thrombocytopenia with thrombosis similar to HIT have also been reported with fondaparinux administration; however, fondaparinux use has also been reported in patients with current or history of HIT due to a lack of an immune-mediated effect on platelets.

Reversal
•
Protamine sulfate can be used as a partial reversal agent for the effects of LMWH (neutralizes approximately 60% of the anti-Factor Xa activity). Refer to
4-6 for recommended dosing of protamine.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TIMING IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING NEURAXIAL PROCEDURES
The use of anticoagulants in patients undergoing neuraxial anesthesia or spinal puncture poses a significant risk for epidural and spinal hematoma. Bleeding complications involving the spine can result in long-term or perma­nent paralysis. The time since the previous dose and/or next dose relative to the catheter placement or spinal puncture should be carefully considered (Table 4-7).

MONITORING
•
LMWHs and fondaparinux have a predictable anticoagulant dose response and wide therapeutic windows; thus, routine dosage adjustments and monitoring of anticoagulation activity are not required in the majority of patients.
•
The prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (PT/INR), activated partial prothrombplastin time (aPTT), and activated clotting time (ACT) are inappro priate laboratory markers to monitor the anticoagulant effect, as they are only minimally affected by LMWHs and fondaparinux.
•
LMWHs have minimal effect on Factor IIa; thus, limited prolongation of aPTT may be seen in cases of LMWH overdoses.
•
Refer to Table 4-8 for specific monitoring parameters and laboratory draw times.

Role of Anti-Factor Xa Monitoring (see Chapter 21)
•
This is not routinely recommended due to lack of clinical outcomes data.
•
This may be useful and considered in certain high-risk situations such as the following:
Morbid obesity (weight >190 kg or body mass index >40 kg/m
(see Chapter 11)
Very low body weight (weight <50 kg) Significant renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min) (see Chapter 11) Neonates and pediatric patients (see Chapter 20) Pregnant women (see Chapter 19) Patients who receive extended therapy (>1 month)
•
When measuring anti-Factor Xa peak activity, the sample should be obtained after steady-state concentrations of the LMWH or fondaparinux are attained, usually after the third to fourth dose. Refer to Table 4-9 for a sample LMWH dosing nomogram using anti-Factor Xa peak levels.
•
The anti-Factor Xa activity assay for fondaparinux has to be specifically calibrated for fondaparinux, and many laboratories do not offer this option.
•
Anti-Factor Xa activity levels should be collected during peak drug concentra­tions (typically occur approximately 4 hours after a subcutaneous dose). Refer to Table 4-10 for indication-specific goals for anti-Factor Xa peak levels.
•
Trough anti-factor Xa activity levels may be useful to rule out drug accumulation, such as in patients with renal failure, and are typically measured just prior to the next dose of the LMWH or fondaparinux.

PATIENT EDUCATION
•
Patients should be provided with written and verbal instructions prior to receiv­ing LMWH or fondaparinux as an outpatient.
•
Some institutions provide patient education kits that contain demonstration syringes, supplies, and instructions for patient education prior to use in the outpatient setting.
Patients should be informed of the following:
•
The site of administration should be rotated.
•
Squirting out of the air bubble in syringes can lead to more bruising at the injec­tion site and/or not all of the dose being administered. Priming the needle is not recommended prior to injection.
•
It may take longer than usual to stop bleeding.

•
Bruising and/or bleeding may occur more easily.
•
Unusual bleeding, bruising, or signs of thrombocytopenia (such as a rash of dark red spots under the skin) should be reported to their physician immediately.
•
Their physicians and dentists should be made aware that they are taking LMWH or fondaparinux.
•
Other medications, including some over-the-counter medications, may increase the risk of bleeding and/or bruising (e.g., antiplatelets, NSAIDs).
•
Refer to Table 4-11 for a list of steps in the self-administration of LMWH and/ or fondaparinux.

SPECIAL POPULATIONS
4,13,16
Pregnancy and Pediatrics
The pharmacokinetics of LMWH and fondaparinux vary in pregnant women and pediatric patients. Adjustments to dosing regimens may be necessary in these patients due to differences in the volume of distribution, metabolism, and clearance. Therefore, therapeutic drug monitoring is recommended in these special populations more frequently than the general patient population.
Dosing and monitoring of LMWH and fondaparinux in pregnancy and
pediatric patients will be covered in Chapters 19 and 20, respectively.
Morbid Obesity Dosing Considerations for VTE
Due to a larger volume of distribution in patients who are morbidly obese, adjustments to dosing regimens may be necessary. The definition of morbidly obese may vary from one institution to another and may be based on body weight or body mass index. Additionally, therapeutic drug monitoring is recommended more frequently in obese patients than the general patient population. Dosing and monitoring of LMWH and fondaparinux in obese patients will be covered in Chapter 11.
• Total body weight appears to be a good predictor for dosing of LMWHs and fondaparinux in obese patients.
• Setting a maximum dose (dose capping) is not recommended when treating patients for VTE. This practice may result in underdosing, putting patients at risk for thrombotic complications.
•
Fondaparinux 10 mg sub-Q daily is approved
for VTE treatment in patients weighing >100 kg. There are not sufficient data to support dose adjustments in obese patients for VTE prophylaxis.
When using LMWHs for VTE prophylaxis, a
• 25–30% dose increase or weight-based dosing of 50 units/kg/day may be considered.
• For enoxaparin, the 1.5 mg/kg sub-Q daily dosing strategy should be avoided in obese patients with VTE.
(continued)
LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HEPARIN AND FONDAPARINUX 79
https://t.me/med1917
• In all obese patients, consider anti-Factor Xa monitoring to assess dosing of LMWH or fondaparinux. See Monitoring section for more information.
Dosing Considerations in Underweight Patients
•
For VTE prophylaxis, fondaparinux is contraindicated in patients weighing <50 kg.
•
For VTE treatment, fondaparinux 5 mg sub-Q daily is recommended for patients weighing <50 kg.
•
Fixed prophylactic doses of LMWH or fondaparinux in underweight patients (<50 kg) may result in drug accumulation and increased risk of bleeding complications. Consider anti-Factor Xa monitoring to assess dosing of LMWH and fondaparinux in this patient population. Also see Monitoring section for more information.
Dosing Considerations in Renal Dysfunction
Because LMWHs and fondaparinux are renally eliminated, reduced elimina­tion can result in increased drug concentrations and an increased bleeding risk. The actual degree of accumulation is different for the various LMWHs and fondaparinux as there are differences in their pharmacologic profiles. Refer to Table 4-12 for a description in how these pharmacokinetic changes impact the dosing and monitoring. Additional considerations in renal impair­ment are discussed in Chapter 11.
Considerations in Oncology Patients
Special LMWH dosing should be considered in patients with malignancy. These agents may be preferred for chronic management due to their inhibi­tion of tissue factor pathway inhibitor. Although malignancy increases the risk for thrombosis, bleeding risk may also be increased in these patients with special attention placed on platelet count. For dosing and monitoring of LMWH and fondaparinux in oncology patients, see Chapter 11.
