12H VTE Treatment: 80 units/kg IV bolus, then 18
units/kg/hr
ACS/STEMI Treatment: 60 units/kg IV bolus, then 12 units/kg/hr

3. What monitoring is required for UFH?: 1. Monitor aPTT or anti-XA level
- Check 6 hours after initiation and q6h until therapeutic, then every 24
hours
- aPTT therapeutic range is 1.5-2.5 x control
- Not required for prophylactic dosing
2. Monitor platelets, hgb, hct
4. Antidotes for Anticoagulants: UFH/LMWH - Protamine
- 1 mg protamine will reverse ~100 units of heparin
- Reverse the # of heparin in the last 2-2.5 hrs, max
dose 50 mg Dabigatran (Pradaxa) - Idarucizumab
(Praxbind) Apixaban/Rivaroxaban - Andexanet alfa
(Andexxa)

- When can Warfarin be restarted in HIT?: When platelets have
recovered to e150,000
- initiate at lower dose (5mg max)

until INR is within target range for 24 hours
- Argatroban can increase INR

- Oral Direct Factor Xa Inhibitor Boxed Warning: 1. Risk of hematomas
and paralysis if receiving epirual (neuraxial anesthesia)
- Edoxaban has reduced efficacy if CrCl >95
- Monitoring for Oral Direct Factor Xa Inhibitors: No monitoring for
efficacy required
