For patients currently receiving intravenous heparin, stop intravenous infusion of heparin sodium immediately after administering the first dose of oral anticoagulant; or for intermittent intravenous administration of heparin sodium, start oral anticoagulant 0 to 2 hours before the time that the next dose...

We explored the feasibility of using subcutaneous low-molecular-weight-heparin (LMWH) injections in place unfractionated heparin (UFH) while anticoagulating patients with cerebral ischemia. In this open-labeled, prospective study, patients admitted to our hospital with transient ischemic attacks or stroke...
Effect of heparin, aspirin, or alteplase in reduction of myocardial ischaemia in refractory unstable angina. With the initial protocol heparin infusion or bolus were compared with aspirin; with a modified protocol, heparin infusion, the best of these three treatments, was compared with alteplase. ...
Getting a heparin infusion The drug heparin is sometimes given as an infusion through an IV line. It is important to have your blood drawn and tested to get the correct amount of heparin in your blood. Is heparin only IV? Heparin is a prescription drug. It comes as a self-injectable ...

For patients currently receiving intravenous heparin, stop intravenous infusion of heparin sodium immediately after administering the first dose of oral anticoagulant; or for intermittent intravenous administration of heparin sodium, start oral anticoagulant 0 to 2 hours before the time that the next dose...
after the operation.39,40We have not found any benefit in this practice. For those patients who come to the operating room on a continuous heparin drip, we continue the infusion until the arteriotomy closure is finished. With meticulous technique, bleeding in these cases has not been a ...
baseline and subsequent tests of prothrombin activity must be determined at a time when heparin activity is too low to affect the prothrombin time. This is about five hours after the last IV bolus and 24 hours after the last subcutaneous dose. If continuous IV heparin infusion is used, prothr...
