Traditionally anti-coagulation was achieved using standard heparin, which necessitated hospitalization and close monitoring of the blood parameters. With low-molecular-weight heparins this is no longer always necessary. Derived from standard heparin, low-molecular-weight heparins have a far lower molecular...
PF.59 What is the Optimal Dose of Low Molecular Weight Heparin in Pregnant Women with Raised BMI?Introduction Obesity is a risk factor for thromboembolism in pregnancy. Recent RCOG guidelines suggested a non-evidence based weight-dependent protocol in which monitoring of anti-Xa levels was not ...
Studies show that factor Xa inhibitors reduce recurrent VTE just as well or better than standard therapies. That includes drugs in the same class, such as low molecular weightheparin(LMWH) andvitamin Kantagonists. There’s some evidence that apixaban may lower the rate of new blood clots more ...
Neuraxial anesthetic techniques are commonly used during the peripartum period to provide effective pain relief for labor and anesthesia during cesarean delivery. Major neurologic complications are rare after neuraxial anesthesia; however, spinal hematom
Dosing of IV UFH should prolong the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) to a range that corresponds to an anti-factor Xa assay (anti-FXa) level of 0.35 to 0.7 U/mL, whereas LMWH should achieve an anti-FXa level of 0.5 to 1.0 U/mL 4 h after an injection for twice-daily ...

[89,132]. Management of acute DVT or PE involves withholding the offending drug if any and starting immediate systemic anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparin or unfractionated heparin. LMWH is the preferred anticoagulation at the time of transition to outpatient therapy as evidence suggests ...
Common sources for error in the interpretation of anti-factor Xa- and anti-thrombin activity of heparins are indicated. Extensive experience with new tests like the ecarin clotting time and the ETP is still lacking. On the basis of preliminary data and in view of the importance of the ...
