Low molecular weight versus unfractionated heparin. A clinical and economic appraisal.
Unfractionated heparin (UFH) has been in clinical use for over 50 years and extensive clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness in the prevention and treatment of thrombotic disease. In the last 2 decades, low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) have been developed and subjected to extensive laboratory and clinical studies. In clinical comparison with UFH in the treatment of venous thro...
متن کاملComparison of a fluorogenic anti-FXa assay with a central laboratory chromogenic anti-FXa assay for measuring LMWH activity in patient plasmas.
INTRODUCTION Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are used worldwide for the treatment and prophylaxis of thromboembolic disorders. Routine laboratory tests are not required due to the predictable pharmacokinetics of LMWHs, with the exception of pregnant patients, children, patients with renal failure, morbid obesity, or advanced age. Anti-Factor Xa (anti-FXa) plasma levels are most often empl...
متن کاملIs laboratory monitoring of low-molecular-weight heparin
The issue of how and when to monitor low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) therapy was raised from the beginning of the clinical use of these compounds, almost 20 years ago. Laboratory monitoring of LMWHwas suggested mainly because the new compounds were to replace unfractionated heparin (UFH), which definitely required monitoring. In the following, we will briefly review the reasons for monitori...
متن کاملDeep Venous Thrombosis Prophylaxis is not Indicated for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
OBJECTIVES Recent publications have discussed the risk of deep venous thrombosis during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and the need for routine deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of clinically detectable DVT in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy without a standard DVT prophylaxis regimen. MATERIALS AND METHODS We perf...
متن کاملLow Risk of Thromboembolic Complications After Fast-Track Abdominal Surgery With Thrombosis-Prophylaxis Only During Hospital Stay
BACKGROUND Subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) reduces the risk of thromboembolic complications after abdominal surgery. With enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), median hospital stay after abdominal surgery may be as short as 3 - 4 days. The aim of our study was to investigate whether thrombosis prophylaxis during the short hospital stay was sufficient to maintain a low frequen...
