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 supratherapeutic values beyond 48 hours.

In the early phase of an acute ischemic stroke, heparinization or use of anticoagulation is not generally recommended (Class III A). Use of heparin should be avoided for a minimum of 24 hours after thrombolytic therapy (Class III B). Overall, use of heparin in acute stroke has not shown to impact outcomes. Some potential exceptions, however, may exist (see below).

aPTT range will depend on the reagent’s sensitivity to heparin unique to each laboratory. aPTT target range selection of VTE treatment may consist of the middle to upper portion of the anti-factor Xa activity calibration. Anti-factor Xa activity targets with concurrent thrombolytic therapy or ACS are unclear. See Chapter 6 (Table 6-6) for heparin dosing recommendations when thrombolytic therapy is used.

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

• who recently received UFH, titration difficulties may be avoided by considering the previous dose required to reach and maintain therapeutic values. Acute changes in clinical status, different 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.

Target range may be ACT range card and test used dependent (see Table 3-9). Post-procedure protamine can be considered— sheaths may be removed when ACT below 160–200 sec. Anticoagulation agent chosen post-procedure is dependent on the clinician’s choice. Due to concerns for bleeding—lower intensity anticoagulation (e.g., enoxaparin 0.5 mg/kg) may be considered until bleeding concerns subside.

hypothermia may slow down the clotting cascade. Goals may be different with hypothermia during surgery versus post­cardiac arrest.
Purge solution of dextrose 20% and heparin 50 units/mL is used to locally keep device from clotting. Adjustments in purge rate part of device programming. Higher purge rates may increase the heparin delivered and affect concurrent systemic heparin therapy requirements. System infusion rate will need to account for heparin given both IV and through the purge solution. Lower heparin concentrations within the purge (12.5 units/ mL or 25 units/mL) can be employed if aPTT values are above desired range.
For Impella RP for the right side of the heart, a separate approach to heparinization has been suggested. See manufacturers’ recommendations. aPTT goals may not have been assessed and adjusted for different reagent sensitivities to heparin.
Rinse dialyzer intermittently with saline (target blood flow ≥250 mL/min).
In general, protocols or guidelines for dosing heparin during hypothermia may require an adjustment to lower doses (e.g., ~50% reduction) depending on the clinical situation and temperature goals. The dose may need to subsequently increase as the patient is being warmed.

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.

used; the aPTT is typically used for lower intensity of heparin anticoagulation effects such as prophylaxis to VTE treatment; this assay can identify presence of diminished response to UFH if antithrombin deficiency is present. aPTT values obtained via central venous access devices may yield higher values than by venipuncture.
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)
Typically used in cardiac interventional procedures such as PCI; measures the intermediate range of heparin anticoagulation; ACT values may vary between tests. (Hemochron values yield higher results than MedTronic values in the upper part of the ACT range.)

• Target ACT ranges may depend on the device, specific test, and if a high or low range card is used. Different tests (e.g., Hemochron, MedTronic, HemoTec) and card ranges (high vs. low) will give notably different values. The ACT range established for each test specifically should be used instead of a standard range. See Table 3-9.
