For anticoagulation to maintain the circuit during intermittent HD only,

circuit), it is important to consider that some is dialyzed off, likely 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 2 hr into HD to assess a need to temporarily increase the infusion rate 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

• Administration of bivalirudin pre-filter in CVVH may decrease the incidence of occlusion of the hemofilter.

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.

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).
