HEMORRHAGIC RISK ASSESSMENT
Bleeding is the most significant adverse effect associated with warfarin therapy. Several scoring systems have been developed to assess the risk of major bleeding in patients taking warfarin. These scoring systems can be helpful in determining risk versus benefit of oral anticoagulation and in guiding the management of over-anticoagulation in individual patients (Table 2-13).

• Patient education on bleeding: minor nose bleeds, gum bleeding after brushing, and increased bruising are common for warfarin patients. However, they may also indicate an elevated INR in a patient not used to these experiences while therapeutic on warfarin. Patients require education on how to manage these symptoms and advice on specific symptoms requiring medical attention. Patients prone to minor nose bleeds should be informed of nasal moisturizers that reduce this occurrence. Patients tend to bruise easily on warfarin; however, bruises should not continue to grow after several days.
• Red or brown urine as well as red or black tarry stools are often symptoms of more serious bleeding. These require medical attention and INR check. Patients with hemorrhoids or frequent constipation may have blood on toilet paper. Stool softeners can be helpful in this situation. These symptoms, however, should also be

evaluated by a physician in patients recently starting warfarin or for those not having this problem previously. Positive stool guaiacs and red or black tarry stools can be symptoms of a more serious condition such as malignancy or the result of excessive anticoagulation. Warfarin patients who develop occult gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding have a 5–25% chance of finding a malignant source with further evaluation. Any bleeding regardless of source, which doesn’t resolve quickly with minor attention, requires medical attention and check of the INR.

UNFRACTIONATED HEPARIN
William E. Dager
INTRODUCTION
Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is one of the most commonly used parenteral anticoagulants. Heparin is used in a wide variety of settings to prevent or treat thromboembolism. It can be used systemically, instilled in catheters, used to sustain device functions, or coat artificial surfaces and lines to prevent thrombotic compli­cations. As one of the oldest anticoagulant agents in use, many of its applications developed over time and had limited assessment of efficacy from rigorous trials. Despite availability of newer anticoagulants, UFH remains frequently used due to its quick onset and offset and ease to reverse.
PHARMACOLOGY
•
UFH is a highly sulfated mucopolysaccharide, heterogeneous compound of which one-third contains the pentasaccharide unit responsible for anticoagulant activity.
•
UFH is an indirect-acting anticoagulant that forms a complex with antithrombin, increas­ing the affinity and anticoagulant activity of antithrombin against clotting factors IIa (18 saccharide sequence required) and Xa (5 saccharide sequence required). Factors IXa, XIa, and XIIa are also inactivated.
•
At higher concentrations, heparin chains unrelated to the pentasaccharide sequence can catalyze thrombin by inhibiting thrombin via heparin cofactor II, or separately by factor Xa generation through antithrombin and heparin cofactor II.
•
UFH will not dissolve a formed clot but will prevent its propagation and growth.
•
No differences in antithrombotic activity have been demonstrated between the various UFH preparations.

INDICATIONS
Approved indications for UFH are listed in Table 3-1.
PHARMACOKINETICS/PHARMACODYNAMICS
The pharmacokinetic properties of UFH are listed in Table 3-2.
•
The pharmacokinetics of UFH can be altered by factors such as age, thromboembolism location, hepatic or renal impairment, and obesity.

• The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)/anti-factor Xa activity from UFH can be checked to verify appropriateness of the dose for a particular treatment dosing interval. For subcutaneous administration with higher treatment goals, a 12-hour (trough) value can be assessed. If this value is too low, an 8-hour dosing interval may be considered. Similarly, if an 8-hour trough value is in the upper portion of the target range or higher, a 12-hour dosing interval can be considered for ease of use. A repeat trough value can be considered to validate the regimen. Risk assessment for thrombosis, bleeding, and compliance should be considered when determining a subcutaneous dosing regimen.
Change in Calibrators for UFH and Potency
In 2009, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) updated the monograph for heparin to be consistent with the World Health Organization (WHO) standards. This update resulted in up to a 10% reduction in heparin potency (potency per USP unit of heparin was up to 10% less than International Units). This conversion created a concern among clinicians for a potential underdosing of heparin. Consensus to date suggests that impact of this change on clinical outcomes is minimal.

Intramuscular administration is not
recommended due to erratic absorption and risk of hematoma formation.

Oral: UFH administered orally is not absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.
Intravenous: 100%—Rapid onset of anticoagulation action can occur with an IV bolus followed by a continuous infusion; in some situations (e.g., during cardiac procedures), IV bolus doses may be repeated to maintain desired effects.
Subcutaneous: Highly variable (10–80%); generally, approximately 20–30% but can be up to 80% with high doses.
•
Because of the nonspecific binding of UFH to various
cellular proteins and cells and unpredictable sub-Q bioavailability, notable inter- and intra-patient variability in anticoagulant dose-response can occur.
• Bioavailability when given sub-Q may decrease when vasoconstrictors are in use or in the critically ill in general.

INITIATING THERAPY
UFH is usually administered parenterally by intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous injection. In some situations, heparin may be used by other purposes (such as a bath) for instruments used in procedures, flushes in surgical processes, or as a coating of dialyzers prior to use. It can also be imbedded into catheter linings during their manufacture or locally infused to keep devices functional (e.g., Impella catheters, see Chapter 17).
UFH for Flushing Catheters
•
Saline and heparin are frequently instilled into catheters to keep them from clotting. Saline is the preferred agent in peripheral IV lines.
•
Depending on the manufacturer of the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line, heparin may or may not need to be instilled.
•
The concentration and volume of heparin instilled will vary between catheters with suggestions potentially provided by the catheter’s manufacturer. The lowest amount of heparin to maintain patency should be considered (see for examples).
•
When using in the same line as an agent that is incompatible with heparin, consider flushing first with saline prior to instilling the other agent.
•
In some cases, high amounts of heparin are used—where the possibility of a sufficient amount reaching the circulation to cause systemic anticoagulant effects should be considered.

• Line flushing during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): 200 units of IV heparin was used to flush catheters in individuals receiving fondaparinux undergoing PCI in the OASIS 5 trial to reduce thrombosis on the guidewire. Recent observations suggest that narrow target­specific agents (e.g., fondaparinux and direct acting oral anticoagulants) may not adequately protect artificial surfaces from thrombosis formation.
•
The lack of more specific anticoagulants to
protect mechanical surfaces compared to heparin may relate in theory to heparin’s effects of factors XI and XII.
ADMINISTRATION: INTRAVENOUS OR SUBCUTANEOUS

Bolus Dosing
•
A bolus is typically used when immediate anticoagulation is necessary. If immedi­ate anticoagulation is not required (i.e., active thromboembolism is not present), a bolus may not be necessary.
•
Dosing guidelines may consider specifying a maximum bolus and infusion rate that triggers an additional assessment step for safety to prevent unintended excessive doses of heparin (see Dose Capping section).
•
Continuous IV infusion is preferred over intermittent IV boluses. Intermittent bolus injections result in high peak anticoagulant levels that may be associated with a higher risk of major bleeding.
•
Dosing of UFH is generally based on patient’s weight (see Table 3-4).
Weight-based UFH dosing regimens are more likely to exceed
the therapeutic aPTT threshold in the first 24 hours after initiating treatment compared to more traditional dosing regimens, such as a 5,000-unit bolus dose followed by an infusion administered at 1,000 units/hr.
For continuous infusion, the dose and target aPTT/anti-Xa may
depend on the indicated use (
UFH products are available in a wide variety of concentrations.
Solutions for injection range from 1,000 units/mL to 20,000 units/ mL, while flushes may include 1 unit/mL to 100 units/mL. Institu tional use of different concentrations should be avoided as much as possible to minimize medication errors and ensure patient safety.
