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.
Heparin is an anticoagulant (blood thinner) that prevents the formation of blood clots. Heparin is used to treat and prevent blood clots caused by certain medical conditions or medical procedures. Heparin is also used before surgery to reduce the risk of blood clots. Do not use heparin injection to flush (clean out) an intravenous (IV) catheter. A separate heparin product is available to use as catheter lock flush. Using the wrong type of heparin to flush a catheter can result in fatal bleeding.
