Is weight based heparin dosing for thromboembolic disease associated with earlier anticoagulation in surgical patients?
Surgical patients who received an initial weight based UFH infusion achieved earlier therapeutic anticoagulation compared to under-dosed UFH without increasing the occurrence of supratherapeutic PTT levels or hemorrhagic events.
PTXF inhibits production of TNF and may have therapeutic value in the treatment of premature infants with sepsis complicated by shock.
