HEPARIN THERAPY [9 records]

Record 1 2021-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Blood
  • Medication
CONT

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis(HITT) is a paradoxical prothrombotic complication of anticoagulant therapy. As many as 3% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery develop clinical HIT [heparin-induced thrombocytopenia] presenting as thrombocytopenia with or without thrombosis within 5–10 days of heparin exposure. Thrombotic complications associated with HIT carry a mortality rate of 5–10%.

Subject field(s)
  • Pharmacology

OBS

The most important therapy for patients with deep vein phlebitis is anticoagulation. Heparin must be used, for oral anticoagulants are not effective for several days. Its principal mode of action is activation of antithrombin III.

CONT

L'héparinothérapie est, dans l'ensemble, très bien tolérée. Les complications dues au médicament lui-même doivent être distinguées des complications hémorragiques.

CONT

The activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) is a commonly performed laboratory procedure which is used for multiple purposes including monitoring of heparin therapy, detection of coagulation factor deficiency, and detection of lupus anticoagulants. Among the hereditary coagulation deficiencies, factor VIII and factor IX are the most common. APTT reagents differ widely in both their sensitivity to factor VIII and factor IX deficiencies as well as their responsiveness.

Record 5 2005-11-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Injections, Tubing and Transfusions (Medicine)
CONT

Blood can be drawn from a peripheral IV if necessary, but only if it is in a relatively large vein and only if the IV is newly inserted. Originally, a peripheral IV was simply a needle that was taped in place and connected to tubing rather than to a syringe. Today, hospitals use a safer system in which the catheter is a flexible plastic tube that originally contains a needle to allow it to pierce the skin; the needle is then removed and discarded, while the soft catheter stays in the vein.

CONT

Heparin therapy was discontinued, and the patient received 100 mg of tissue plasminogen activator(rt-PA [Alteplase]) by peripheral intravenous infusion over 2 hours.

Record 7 2002-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
CONT

If relatively large doses have been employed, it may be necessary when reinstituting anticoagulant therapy to use somewhat larger doses of the prothrombin depressing anticoagulant, or to use one which acts on a different principle, such as heparin sodium.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médicaments
CONT

Une résistance temporaire aux anticoagulants dépresseurs de la prothrombine peut se manifester, surtout quand on emploie de fortes doses de vitamine K1. Dans ce dernier cas, à la reprise de l'anticoagulothérapie, il peut être nécessaire d'employer le dépresseur de prothrombine à doses plus élevées ou d'employer un anticoagulant agissant d'après un principe différent comme l'héparine sodique.
