Cooking times can be shorter in toaster ovens. If your product says cook it at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, you should set a kitchen timer for 20 minutes.
Approach Considerations. If heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is suspected, the first step is to discontinue and avoid all heparin products immediately. An order to simply discontinue heparin may not necessarily prevent heparin exposure, because unfractionated heparin (UFH) is commonly used to flush catheters.
Ordinarily, heparin prevents clotting and does not affect the platelets, components of the blood that help form blood clots. Triggered by the immune system in response to heparin, HIT causes a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). Two distinct types of HIT can occur: nonimmune and immune-mediated. Nonimmune HIT, which occurs most frequently, is characterized by a mild decrease in the platelet count and is not harmful.
