Official title
Optimization of Intravenous Unfractionated Heparin Starting Infusion Rate for Adult Patients With Deep Vein Thrombosis/Pulmonary Embolism or Cardiac Indications
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial study is to test whether a mathematical calculation, using the patient's gender, weight and kidney function, can better predict a patient's heparin goal dose than a flat number of units per patient weight can. Participants will have the first dose of heparin infusion calculated, after which if adjustments are needed, the Hospital's prebuilt table for results driven dosing for this purpose is used. The researchers will compare the time it takes for the participants to get to the desired goal using the patient's information for calculation versus patients in the past who received the medication using the flat rate. The hypothesis is that the patients with enhanced personal data, gender, weight and kidney function, included for the initial dose, will get to their goal lab value sooner and with less chance of delay or overshooting the goal. A quicker time to goal lab value is beneficial to patients in many ways, including earlier treatment of the clot or coronary issue that the patient is experiencing.
