Unfractionated heparin: a nursing dilemma.
Nurses face challenges in all aspects of their practice, especially with administering and monitoring drugs in a safe, effective manner. Key factors known to affect drug administration include general drug knowledge, formal nurse education, continuing education needs, clinical experience, and the nationwide nursing shortage. Other factors are advances in technologic aids and quality improvement...
متن کاملAnalysis of Anticoagulant Effect of Unfractionated Heparin by Using Thrombin Generation Assay in Vitro
Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is widely used in the treatment and prophylaxis of thrombosis. The anticoa‐ gulant effect of UFH is monitored according to activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). However, there are reports of cases in which hemorrhagic complications develop despite APTT being maintained within the therapeutic range. This indicates there are problems with the monitoring method...
متن کاملEffect of a Direct Thrombin Inhibitor Compared with Dalteparin and Unfractionated Heparin on Human Osteoblasts
PURPOSE Osteoporosis is a relevant problem after long term administration of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparin. Melagatran is a representative of a new group of direct thrombin inhibitors with comparable data in the prevention of thromboembolic events after orthopaedic surgery. The aim of our in vitro study was to investigate the effect of a direct thrombin inhibitor...
متن کاملThe use and limitations of unfractionated heparin.
Despite the development of newer anticoagulants, unfractionated heparin remains an indispensible agent in the treatment of thrombotic disorders. Heparin exerts its major effect via antithrombin, converting antithrombin to a more efficient inhibitor of circulating thrombin (factor IIa), factor Xa, factor IXa, factor XIIa, and kallikrein. However, due to the multiple anticoagulant mechanisms of h...
متن کاملEconomics of unfractionated heparin: beyond acquisition cost.
Despite numerous clinical trials demonstrating advantages of new anticoagulants, unfractionated heparin (UFH) is still used by a number of clinicians in the United States. The reason for this continued use of UFH is not superior efficacy, improved safety, or convenience, but low acquisition cost. However, several other costs associated with the use of UFH are often not considered. Appropriate e...
