The key points of this analysis were that using a weight-based approach (using total body
weight) led to a higher incidence of aPTT values within or above the target range in the first
24–48 hours without increasing bleeding instances but decreasing recurrent VTE events five
fold. Some observations have linked increased bleeding to frequent excessive aPTT values or
higher doses during prolonged courses of therapy, suggesting some caution regarding frequent

Infusions: Depending on the situation, infusions for systemic anticoagulation
are typically initiated at 12–18 units/kg/hr, but may go up to 25 units/kg/hr.
Capping the initial allowed infusion rate, unless otherwise specifically justified,
can avoid unintended or excessive dosing. On occasion, higher infusion rates
adjusted based on aPTT or anti-Xa activity may be needed.

• Setting a maximum “capped” dose for both the
bolus dose and separately the infusion rate may
avoid dosing errors that might occur from an
incorrect weight (or units such as pounds for kg),
or extra digit (500 units intended but 5,000 units
ordered). Capped doses may be different based
on the indicated use. Lower capped doses may
be considered in the setting of ACS compared to
PE. Higher doses may occur in the setting of PE
secondary to enhanced elimination.

Common order sets should be considered where
possible, especially if for the same indication. All
areas where adjusted dose heparin is used should
be easy to identify and revised as aPTT assay

who recently received UFH, titration difficulties
may be avoided by considering the previous

therapeutic goals, and safety concerns must also
be carefully assessed.
Fixed-dose UFH subcutaneous for VTE treatment has been explored while
transitioning to warfarin. No heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) was
observed; however, the course was relatively short.
In the setting of acute stroke, heparinization may not influence outcomes.
But in the following situations, it may be considered:
•
Atrial fibrillation with intracardiac chamber thrombus on echocardiography
•
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis
•
Presence of artificial valves, thrombus in the left atrium or ventricle, or recent
(past month) myocardial infarction
•
Symptomatic dissection of the arteries providing blood flow to the brain after
CT scan has ruled out central nervous system hemorrhage
•
Symptomatic intracranial or extracranial arteriosclerotic stenosis with crescendo
transient ischemic attacks or early progressive stroke
•
Basilar artery occlusion
•
Presence of established hypercoagulable states (Note: Nongenetic hypercoagulable conditions at the time of the acute event may be misleading.)

•
Depending on dose, onset of effect occurs within 1–2 hours with peak effect
achieved around 3 hours. Several days may be required to reach steady-state
pharmacodynamics for assessing values when subcutaneous UFH is given in full
therapeutic doses.
•
Due to the lower and variable bioavailability of the subcutaneous route of
administration, higher doses of UFH should be initiated to attain therapeutic
anticoagulation effect quickly.
•
For VTE treatment, target aPTT values (or equivalent anti-factor Xa activity of
0.3–0.7 units/mL) at 6 hours post administration should be considered (Table
16
3-14).
• In selected treatment situations where a low
molecular weight heparin (LMWH) may not be
an available option, UFH can be administered
subcutaneously every 8–12 hours. The dose can
be estimated from the IV infusion rate in Table
3-6. It may take several days for the aPTT
to reach steady state. The risk for HIT with
long-term subcutaneous UFH is not known. If
bleeding at injection sites is observed, consider
checking an aPTT and also checking the size of
the needle used.
• Doses of 5,000 units every 8 hours in elderly,
low-weight individuals may yield aPTT values
close to or in the therapeutic range.

The amount of heparin required to maintain a hemodialysis circuit is variable
depending on the approach (e.g., intermittent, extended duration, continuous),
the properties of the dialysis circuit, and the patient.
•
Some hemodialysis machines are programmed to use preselected heparin
concentrations (i.e., 1,000 units/mL) for continuous infusions.
•
Heparin requirements may be lower in extended daily dialysis (~650 units/
hr) compared to continuous renal replacement therapy (approximately 1,100
units/hr).
•
Fewer patients on extended duration dialysis may require heparin compared to
continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
•
Consider using total body weight with a preselected maximum infusion rate cap
(i.e., 2,000 units/hr) that subsequently triggers an additional assessment to limit
unintended excessive dosing.

MONITORING AND DOSING ADJUSTMENTS
Clinical Challenge—Transitioning from an Oral Anti-Xa
Agent to Heparin Infusion
Presence of an oral anti-Xa agent (e.g., apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban,
betrixaban) in the system can elevate the heparin calibrated anti-Xa values. It is
unclear if the total anti-Xa activity with the combined agents provides the same
degree of anticoagulation as each agent individually and carries the potential
for initially under-dosing or down titration of unfractionated heparin in the
first few days of therapy, or at least the need to titrate up the heparin infusion
as the oral agents’ effects wear off. The effects of the oral agents, including
shorter acting apixaban, may last for over 48 hours from the last dose, with
the occasional rare case of longer effects if a long-acting agent, high levels,
or a notable reduction in clearance is present. Consider adding both aPTT
and anti-Xa activity as baseline laboratory assessments prior to starting the
heparin infusion. One option may be manage with the aPTT until the DOAC
effects have dissipated. Presence of a high baseline aPTT and INR may suggest
excessive DOAC effects present. In high thrombosis risk situations (e.g., new
STEMI and post thrombolysis), the risk of bleeding and recurrent thrombosis
should be evaluated. Should heparin be continued (e.g., 2–3 days post lytic)
when an oral anti-Xa agent had recently been administered, anti-Xa values
may be elevated and drive either holding or lowering heparin infusion rate.
Consider using the aPTT to manage the heparin infusion and capping how low
the infusion rate may go and assess for thrombosis or bleeding.

aPTT values obtained via central venous access devices may yield higher

As with the aPTT, anti-factor Xa activity calibrated to heparin is an alternative
assay for measuring lower intensity of heparin anticoagulation effects such as
prophylaxis to VTE treatment; this assay can identify presence of diminished
response to UFH if high factor VIII concentrations are present.
Anti-factor Xa assays may or may not add antithrombin into the process and
potentially yield different results. (See Table 3-10)
