necessitating an increase in the rate. The optimal management strategy
may depend on the duration of hemodialysis and aPTT value maintained,
along with the risk of thrombosis formation during HD. Consider aPTT

during prolonged dialysis (>8 hours).
Initial dose
• For treatment of HIT or antithrombin deficiency, consider the following:
Intermittent hemodialysis: 0.03–0.07 mg/kg/hr IV infusion
Extended duration hemodialysis: 0.06–0.09 mg/kg/hr IV infusion
CRRT: 0.06–0.07 mg/kg/hr IV infusion (range 0.03–0.1 mg/kg/hr)
As an alternative to heparin during intermittent dialysis only (no acute

Clinical Pearls in Managing and Monitoring DTI Regimens (See Tables 5-5,
5-6, and 5-7)
• Differences in sensitivities for aPTT reagents
between heparin or DTI may occur and, thus,
the target aPTT range for a DTI will not be the
same as heparin nor the same between different
DTIs. Furthermore, due to differences in aPTT
assays, the target range for a DTI will likely
vary between institutions.
Acutely ill patients such as those with renal,
•
hepatic, or cardiac dysfunction may reach target
aPTT values at a dose notably lower than
observed in the clinical trials.
•
Because most published dosing experiences are
based on aPTT monitoring, not serum DTI
concentrations, the actual dosing observed may
be different due to differences in aPTT assays.
• Bivalirudin dosing in acute coronary syndromes
(ACS): the target ACT in the Replace II ACS
trial was a bolus to maintain the ACT over
225 seconds. In subsequent ACS trials, ACT
monitoring of the bivalirudin was not required.
27
• Effects of bivalirudin on the ACT can be seen
within minutes of a bolus.
• Any DTI and no acute thrombosis and concerns
for bleeding present: Consider targeting aPTT
ratio of 1.5 to 2 x baseline (1.5−2.5 x baseline
argatroban) to minimize bleeding risks. Because
a higher incidence of thrombosis was seen in the
lepirudin trials, if half the aPTT values were
below 1.5 x control, lower targets may not be
preferred.
•
Although more consistent results have been
observed with alternative assays to monitor DTI
infusions compared to the aPTT, reductions in the
incidence of bleeding or thrombosis with their use
has not been established, and they were not used
in the clinical trials that led to market approval.

• Alterations in dosing requirements may be
necessary as the dynamic clinical presentation
of the patient changes. Measured aPTT values
should take this under consideration, and the
infusion rate should be adjusted to prevent
undershooting or overshooting target goals
Figures 5-1 and 5-2).

TABLE 5-7: Monitoring Considerations When Initiating and
Adjusting a DTI Regimen
Initiating DTI
•
Draw baseline aPTT and INR if not previously done; if a true baseline aPTT is not possible,
use laboratory normals to help set targets.
Evaluate renal, liver, and cardiac function for potential reasons to reduce the dose.
•
•
Initiate DTI depending on target goals and indication for use.
Monitoring DTI (see Figures 5-1 and 5-2)
Draw aPTT at a predetermined time within 2–6 hr to reduce the risk of overtargeting or
•
undertargeting the selected aPTT goal. Note that the initial value reported may not be at
steady-state in acutely ill patients.
• Adjust dose upward any aPTT value notably below a ratio of 1.5 X baseline.
•
Consider adjusting the dose downward if the upper end of the target range is noted
shortly after initiating the infusion, or above prior to achieving steady state.
Follow thrombosis progression, platelet count (HIT), patient, and HCT (or hemoglobin) for
•
any evidence of bleeding.
If an INR was drawn before starting warfarin while on the DTI, consider an aPTT with it to
•
determine amount of DTI effect on the INR.
•
A flattening of the aPTT dose response curve has been observed at higher degrees
of anticoagulation intensity with minimal change in the aPTT as the DTI concentration
increases (see Chapter 21).
• The ACT has been used in situations where a higher degree of anticoagulation may
be required, such as invasive cardiac or selected surgical procedures (e.g., coronary
intervention, cardiopulmonary bypass, or ECLS).
• The DTI can independently elevate the INR value by interfering with the assay in the
laboratory. Absent of warfarin, this should not be interpreted as an elevated degree of
anticoagulation. The degree of effect on the INR often correlates with the concentration
of the DTI present, which is also represented by the intensity of rise in the aPTT. At higher
doses, a more pronounced elevation in the INR for any DTI can occur. Argatroban generally
leads to the largest INR elevations followed by bivalirudin and then lepirudin, which has the
least effect on INR. Stopping DTI therapy after seeing an INR over 2 without considering
the effect of DTI on INR is a very common clinical error that needs to be prevented.

• Due to the potential flattening of the aPTT at
high concentrations of DTI, following the INR
in conjunction with the aPTT can be considered
when very high doses of DTI are given. You may
be experiencing this flattening of the aPTT doseresponse curve if the aPTT is not rising with
increasing DTI doses but the INR is continuing
to increase. In this situation, since the serum
level of the DTI is likely still rising, the INR and
thrombin time (TT) may now be a guide for
assessing dosing titrations.
• In situations of confirmed HIT and lack of
platelet response, consider reassessing target
aPTT values and dosing titration scale.

warfarin

Note: aPTT and INR responses to a DTI and
warfarin separately vary between assays (see Table
5-8).
• Draw a baseline INR and aPTT on DTI
therapy alone.
• Initiate warfarin and identify a desired
1.5–2 point increase in the INR or pick a
preselected INR, which considers the DTIinduced INR prolongation (with minimal
change in the aPTT).
Once the desired number of overlap days and
•
desired platelet recovery has occurred and
the INR target is reached, hold the DTI for
4–8 hours and recheck the INR and aPTT.
• After withholding the DTI and the subsequent
INR is over 2 with an aPTT close to baseline
(indicating the DTI has largely cleared), then
the DTI can be discontinued. It may take
longer for the effects of a DTI to diminish if
a very low infusion rate has been used and
aPTT values are in the target range, as this
suggests slower drug elimination (Figure 9-2).

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Procedures
Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass
•
HIT is rare with the exception of recent exposure to heparin.
•
Heparin is the anticoagulant of choice in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
with a pump unless patient has reasons not to use.
•
Suggested management options if patient requires CABG when heparin contraindicated:
Delay procedure until heparin antibody cannot be detected (several
months).
Use alternative anticoagulant.
•
Suggested alternative anticoagulant dosing during CABG under HIT conditions:
DTI infusion rates post-open heart surgery may be lower than in the
pre-operative setting as organ function and, thus, elimination may
be diminished. Platelet count most likely will drop after surgery.
• Because bivalirudin can be cleaved and
inactivated by thrombin in stagnant blood,
blood clotting in small pockets outside the
circulation within the surgical field—unlike
with heparin—does not suggest insufficient
anticoagulation.
Mechanical Circulatory Devices
36,37
Heparin is commonly used in the setting of mechanical circulatory support
to sustain blood flow and prevent clotting of the circuit (see Chapter 17).
Some components of using DTIs in this setting are discussed in Chapter 17.
In situations where heparin is not an option and an alternative short-acting
anticoagulant is required, parenteral DTIs may be considered. Dosing and
goals of therapy will depend on the need for either sustaining the circuit or
independent. systematic anticoagulation of the patient.
Goals of Therapy
•
May be different for sustaining the circuit, and monitoring may be based on
assessment of clotting within the circuit (e.g., extracorporeal life support [ECLS]),
function of the device (e.g., ventricular assist devices).
•
Laboratory assessment of the DTI should still occur to make sure excessive
anticoagulation effects and potential complications such as systemic bleeding
are identified.
•
It is unclear what the target goals are and which test (aPTT or ACT) should be
used because information is limited based on single-center case reports or small
case series (if any information at all).
